Of course one has to say that with his way of talking. It's the parent's fault because they don't believe in spanking and that no means no. There is no way I could act that way, my mom would have given me a spanking and we would have gone home...done and over and out!Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-64563533368595140062016-09-15T16:49:32.464-04:002016-09-15T16:49:32.464-04:00If only, JoJo!!

I used to take mine bowling and part of it was teaching them to be considerate of the people around them. <br /><br />But then, every occasion was a learning experience for my kids. My dad once joked that they weren't being raised, they were being developed. LOL.

It's only a problem when you keep that up <i>after</i> the birthday.<br /><br />People that can't control their kids drive me nuts. I understand that kids are unpredictable and have temper tantrums from time to time, but like Alex said, situations like this started long before the bowling alley. That wasn't a tantrum. That's everyday life for these people. And that's when you know you've failed as a parent.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-67737009119763491282016-09-15T08:33:56.455-04:002016-09-15T08:33:56.455-04:00You remind me of a time when I was a kid.

When we did get home I asked her if she was still going to punish me. She said she had to now because I had reminded her.
