who rules while the cool kids are away?

Actually, the cute kids pix will have to wait. My 5-year-old girl decided to play hair stylist on my 2-ear-old boy and his shaggy lil 'do is now butchered.

I had to punish her and locked her in the closet until Monday. We'll slide in a water bottle every six hours, so no one here needs to worry or call DCFS.

 

Beat her ass, Ides. After all, that's why our boys are dying overseas; for your right to give the youngins' a whuppin.

 

shaddup. I'll beat your arse, too.

 

I'm a little big to be a'spankin', Ides.

 

No you're not.

And I wouldn't spank it, I'd BEAT it.

 

Whatever blows your hair back, Ides.

Just use plenty of lube...

 

Go to your room.

 

Not until Rosie tells me.
Or the Twins game finishes. One or the other.

But that's some top-notch non-abusive parenting right ther, Idaho.

 

You got no authority to send him to his room, Idaho. Maybe you should go to your room (without Uma).

 

I'm at the office, actually. Uma is in our room without me. :'(

 

So that's where Buck went...

 

This is like the 'child discipline' thread.
That's some crazy stuff they're talking about over there.
I can just imagine me, as a child, telling my parents 'I don't care for the punishment.'
They would have been picking me up with a blotter.
