I have two lads and it's interesting how they turn out. Neither have gone 'off the rails' but having been treated in exactly the same way their characters are so different. The eldest is so highly strung that you feel as if you're 'treading on eggshells' all the time and the youngest, if he was any more laid back, he'd fall over. The question is, nature or nurture? In the case of my two it appears to be nature. Hope all goes well with your lad Mick.
