Parents cringe in fear of the PC authorities and the kids hold it over their heads. It seems the kids control the household and the parents unwittingling become their victims, and the victims of DOCS. Family isn't family anymore. Respect and manners are missing. There's no need to bash the kids, but a subtle tap on the leg or bum to remind them who makes the rules is sometimes in order. The theory of "reasoning" with a toddler is absurd. They don't have enough intellect or language skills, or experience of life to be capable of negotiating right and wrong, the rules and expectations of the disciplines of life. Computer games are wrecking the social structure. They are for entertainment for a short time, but is seems your grandson's father is the child in the family. They kill the characters in one game, and the characters return next time they play the game. There's no such thing as dead to those who play these games. I raised my girls firm and fair, with regular discipline and slaps. The youngest is my 30 year old brat to whom the rules do not apply apparently. She will always remind everyone if they break the rules. Her vicious temper cost me a lot of smashed walls as she grew up. My middle daughter if placid, content and easy going, and nothing is too hard. My eldest is a social climbing butterfly, striving to meet the expectations and approvel of the social set with superficial appearances. They snuck out, smoked behind the house and tried everything we tried when we were growing up and learning out limits. That's life. Unfortunately too many kids are suffering from TATADDs. "Thong Across The A.ss Deficit Disorders".

Don't think the underwear type one would have the desired impact on the posterior of the recipient.................

Chris, you're right about my grandson's father. I could write a book on him and his family!
As for the 'shoot em up kill em' stupid games...I've never given him any toy or game that involves killing, and he understands that, and respects my decision. Thank goodness.
My daughter has made a lot of stupid choices, but who hasn't?! I still don't particularly agree with her lifestyle, but she has a good heart and she's done a good job of rearing my grandson, often under difficult circumstances.

Jeez, JRH, trust you to introduce potential smut to a topic. Talk about "Off Topic"!
The foot kind, (your dirty old man), aka flip flops and jandals would be much more effective than the lingerie kind, depending on the age of the brat.
Come to think of it, isn't a dirty old man just a sexy senior citizen? Or should I ask the missus?
Oh, that reminds me, a thong is thomething the Theekers sang.
