[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 61602, member: 84"] You can do what my Mom used to do. Before we went anywhere, she laid down the rules of what we could and couldn't do. She told us ahead of time what the consequences would be if we didn't follow her rules. While we were there if we broke one of her rules she never said a word. But once we got home... the guilty party had to pay the piper. And it was never pretty. Punishment was swift and painful. I can count on one hand the number of times we got into any sort of trouble away from home with or without our mother. Family always though she went way overboard. And yep, actually she did in many ways. But she had the best behaved 5 kids probably in the whole town. And 3 of us were difficult children. She could take us anywhere. I toned down some of her method with this and used it on my own kids. It worked for me, too. It takes where they are/who they are with out of the equation. The issue becomes the rules and consequences, just as it is at home. Hugs [/QUOTE]
