With our kids, we reckon our eldest is “brand new” because he has no common sense or independence whatsoever (even as a baby he demanded constant attention) whereas the youngest is on his second time around at least because he’s very independent (he won’t let you help him at all until he’s well and truly given up) and just “gets” stuff easily. Both clever kids, but in very different ways.

Re: Mardy teenagers
My wee girl is coming up 12 and goes to High School this year. She still gets on with her wee bro and is keen on doing her best at everything and thinks boys smell.
She does go from my baby girl to being a scornful of everything wee bollocks at the drop of a hat though and can burst in to tears at nothing (nothing as perceived by the rest of us usually, not just me).
I went in to kiss her goodnight and out of nowhere she was crying as I"you spend ages reading stories to Bendy and doing his dream" She has been reading her own books for years and was really independent and it really took me aback. I read her The Tinder Box which is in a book of HCA tales that I loved as kid. they are pretty dark.
I think she was such a Daddy;s girl when she was a tiny that sometimes growing up is just scary and although I cannot fathom her light switch mood changes or fully understand why something makes her sad I try an remember that if it is important to her I should at least sympathise, even if I struggle to empathise.
My wee boy on the other hand, loves Star Wars, farting and super heroes and lego.
TL:DR daughters seem to be more complicated than boys and I am not looking forward to the next ten years as much as I have enjoyed the last nearly 12.

Re: Mardy teenagers
Slightly related, my daughter (two on Monday) proved she's mine for sure the other night. Had done bedtime and settled down on the sofa to relax. Half an hour or so after I thought she was asleep her clear child's voice could be heard throughout the house "far, I farted!". Definitely mine.

Re: Mardy teenagers
One of my favourite clips of my boy (nearly 5 months old) is just a 6 second clip of him lying on our bed, looking up at the camera and slightly wriggling and mew'ing. 5 seconds in he lets out this perfect ricochet fart and then gives this wry little smile of pure satisfaction and glee.

Because I care about the environment, I don’t have kids

Because I don’t care about the environment, I don’t have kids.
...Is the more logical position. No need to worry about their legacy.
Re: Mardy teenagers
You’re all missing a trick here chaps.
Deep within your scrotums could lie the seed for change, the seed for a better future, the seed for Nobel prizes.
By not having kids you are denying the world a cure.

I showed this thread to them - they are now hiding in the washing machine, trembling, begging me to keep the beanyman away.
