Don't worry - I'm not smacking difficult child around or tying him in a crate or anything.
Here's the story: this afternoon on the way home from school he pulled his penis out of his pants and was waving it around. I found this really inappropriate, and once I turned into our super rural, untrafficked, 1/4 mile road, I told him to get out of the car and walk the rest of the way home. I usually use this punishment for him AND his brother when they are fighting. I've never done it for just him. It's a punishment that does me more good than them, probably - when the 2 are fighting I tell them I don't want to listen to it anymore. Typically they've been fighting and fighting and fighting and have been warned and it's my final punishment.
In this case, it was all I could think of at that moment. I had a crappy morning, he acted ridiculous when I picked him up, he behaved poorly at school, and the penis thing was the last straw. I really just wanted him away from me.
He got out of the car and I drove the rest of the way home. He took forever to come over the crest of the hill. I waited and waited on my porch, then remembered that someone from the Sheriff's office lives on my street and started to panic that I was somehow breaking some law.
I just got in my car to see what he was doing when he came over the crest of the hill. He was just dawdling...
Anyway, I guess I want to make sure that if I do this again I won't get in trouble for it! Sometimes I really just need to be away from him!
I know this is a jerky question, but still...
