    Told 8 yo that in a few years he may start to be embarrassed when I tell him I love him, but not to worry because when he gets to be about 22 he'll start to like it again. Also told him that since he's so grown up, I'm going to start treating him like he's 22 in this respect.

        Don't worry, we both understand that it's nothing more than a trick for continuing to tell him I love him.

        Setting expectations is a smart thing to do. Just wondering for how long they work until those need to be reset again. In 16 years expectations might fade a bit :)

        When your teenagers roll their eyes at you, just look them in the eye and with total sincerity tell them "I will always love you more than you love me." It will deflate your annoyance and it will draw them up short. And alas, it's true. Good to remind yourself now and then.
