I didn't know they were. Mine weren't.

@SW-User were you very strict? All 3 of my sons have been this way to me & it really hurts me.

@Myocite No... I tried to instill good manners, respect and all right from the beginning. I wasn't overly strict... they just knew what was expected and allowed... and what wasn't.
I was always quick to tell them the compliments other adults would make. Plenty of times, I was told people were surprised how well behaved my children were. They aren't perfect, but they still made me proud. :)

@SW-User maybe it's just nature vs nurture. I've certainly instilled (or tried to) much character & goodness into him. If we mate with crappy genes we can only do so much.

@Myocite You want to blame the father? lol

@SW-User if you knew the facts you wouldn't say LOL. He's been labeled a sociopath by a forensic psychologist. He's a very bad person. I lived with him for several decades.
