[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 325646, member: 1514"] Please do remember I am also a huge difficult child in my own right...lol. The tree episodes happened during the early teen years of the boys. Maybe 10 to 14. This was when they would sneak around in the house and hunt for Xmas presents and then when they would find them, they would open them and then try to re-wrap them again. Oh that irritated me to no end! I told them over and over again that if they continued to do that then I would cancel Xmas. They continued. I tossed the tree out the front door the first year. They did it the next year. That year I just took the presents away and hid them somewhere else and claimed I took them back. Didnt put them out until halfway through the day on Xmas. Thought that would cure them. It didnt. They did it again the next year...I threw the tree again! Also....over the years other things got tossed out doors and windows. Dishes, pots and pans, a boom box or two, clothes, the dish rack with a full load of dishes and silverware, food, lol...I was a thrower. [/QUOTE]
