Well, it was bound to come to this day.

The aiden_freeman has decided that his favourite game is to go over to the shelf of board games and pull them down and take them apart

Ok...that comparison is just a lettle creepy.

It's more for context...

[lordandrei]

I don't consider the idea 'sexually' I consider it the idea of being able to act as a disciplinarian for people I care about.

Boy that sounds framilar. You get use to it.

Or you have a psychotic episode....

[mlerules]

Here's hoping for the former w/out the latter.

and sometimes we put the games and temptations on the bottom three shelves away in storage for a few years. i did.

those little ones just dont have a lot of impulse control.

Discipline is the hardest part. We have a saying at the house, "Better you cry now than me cry later". What it means is that it's better that I give you boundaries and enforce them and help you learn how to gain self-control, to respect others, and how to make good choices - rather than not doing these things and you making potentially destructive choices later on that hurt you or others.

It sucks, I hate crying, and I seriously hate being "The Enforcer" but it's part an parcel of the deal, IMO.

You're not a failure as a parent. Seriously. You're not.

I'm in total agreement. It's real hard, but it needs to happen correctly.

Hey, therapist's kids will always need college money, so this is just doing financial planning for them in advance.
