[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 119617, member: 1233"] I can't remember too many limits, but I was mainly a self-policing child, if I did break the rules MY punishment for myself was much harder than what my parents thought of. Of course I had kids before they admitted this!!!! 13 and 14 are ages we barely survived with difficult child, we are heading into them with Jess. We have already had the "rude to the family servant" bit, and I reminded her I woulc be 3 times as rude, 4 times as funny, and the one who would be laughed at woudl be HER. So this stopped. I am reminded of when on of husband's coworkers went through this with his son. The son finally asked the Dad why he kept "just walking in". It was after a number of very rude remarks and actions. Dad told him, point blank, in front of the new girl friend, "Well, you know how you are. I just want to make sure you haven't had an accident in your new Spiderman underwear. You haven't, have you?" They had a long talk after that, and son never did diss dad that way again. Susie [/QUOTE]
