So what do you do when they DON'T learn from natural consequences? Give up?

[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 352671, member: 831"] Bold and italics mine. I'm with you, MWM. I can not have them in my house, but that only drives Son to get them elsewhere. Hereditary has A LOT to do with teeth. I didn't visit the dentist until I was 23. The only tooth I had "pulled" was being held down while my Dad pulled it out with a pair of pliers. Anyway, I only had ONE minor cavity. husband has had tons of dental work. Both son and Daughter are lazy about their teeth. Daughter is going in next week for a cleaning because her breath STINKS. She made the appointment and is driving herself in. I'm not too keen to take her because of our "brawl" in the parking lot after the wisdom teeth fiasco a couple of years ago. Son is also noncompliant when it comes to brushing teeth. He has the inflamed gums to prove it. He battles me every step of the way and then lies to me that he did brush them. I have to stand and watch if I want him to brush more than five seconds. This reminds me to take Son in too. Son got an infected ingrown toenail (very painful) and he didn't tell me and I just happened to notice it. OMG! It got to the point that he was walking funny. The shot to numb is the worse part when having it removed and then it has to be soaked and dressed TWICE day for at least two weeks. I won't go into details but Son was extremely uncooperative and it got worse and he had to have ANOTHER shot to have the other side of the nail removed. He decided to comply under the threat of a third shot. I took him to the foot doctor yesterday and finally got the all clear. Daughter had to see the foot doctor yesterday for a sore arch; she has extremely high arch and recently went back to work at a lifeguard and had been walking around on the cement barefoot for eight hours. I have foot problems and husband has in the past. We feel like our Podiatrist is the family doctor! [/QUOTE]
