    Probably drinking wine or beer with fruit in it.

    I mostly agree until the last few words.

    If you won't discipline your kids, CD Boogie will.

    Is there any purpose to you constantly doing this, other than to try to troll a response? He isn't even posting on this thread.

    It's funny occasionally when people spoof on others on here.

    But all you do is drive-by posts like this one taking digs and shots at people -- in this case, I am not even sure the guy has ever even engaged you on here. Yet, there you -- these kinds of posts are 90 percent of your act on here.

    Cut the shit.

    You can take out that beam in your eye before criticizing the mote in other people's eyes.

    Stop with the constant digs at people. The drive-bys were you pop onto threads just to be a jerk or take lame shots. Just stop.

    I wonder if Pat Summitt disciplined her son.

    The answer always comes down to beating your kids to a pulp or doing absolutely nothing.

    The best course of action before doing either, though, is to take Facebook advice from those without kids, or those parents whose kids are monsters all the time.

    There is a way for parents to let their kids learn occasional harsh lessons while never directly punishing them:

    Tell them they have to go outside, play all day, and come back at dinner. Even send a lunch with them.
