[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 450647, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#0000cd][SIZE=2]What a lovely example of how NOT to discipline your children. Idiotic woman. I have a friend who would pull over, turn off the car, and kick her kids out and drive away*. *She only did this to those over 13 and only around town, close enough to walk home. I didn't know this way back, but I saw one of her surly teens walking up the main drag so I pulled over to ask if they needed a ride and she said, "No way! But thanks. If my Mom saw you giving me a lift, I'd be in even bigger trouble!!" We laughed it off but then I asked my friend about it. She said, "If my kids cannot sit in my car for a short drive home from the store or school without cussing and speaking in a disrespectful manner, then they need to get out. They're old enough to walk it and I'm too old to put up with that ****." Okay. For her, it worked. I once tried kicking difficult child out of my car like that - she wouldn't budge and I didn't want to be seen physically pulling her from my car on the side of the road - too many people know us and I'm sure one of them would have called the police and the last thing I needed at the time was more police attention, lol!!! When my kids acted up in the store, I would ceremoniously walk my cart over to the customer service desk and leave it there, then quietly walk out to the car and go home, without saying a word to the offending child. After a while, if one of them acted up, I would hear the other say, "Mom's going to leave the cart and make us go home - stop crying (whining, etc)" and it almost always worked. No yelling, no words, no threats, just action. [/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
