"a handful on regular days" = by implication; when he really feels like creating troubles - then it goes off-scale!

Germaine
: En français, on ne "manie" pas une personne; même au fig., la connotation est péjorative (manipuler). Le sens est +/- hard to deal with = un enfant difficile (au quotidien)

I don't think a verb such as "manage" works in French, in relation to a child (I presume this is a child? Asker didn't tell us)
Note from asker:
| its a child sorry |
