My DIL chrangharris told me a bit about this thread yesterday when she was here, so I am just now reading the whole thing.

Tonya - I am SOOO proud of how you handled the entire situation. The punishment was so very appropriate for the "crime" as punishment should be. Hubby and I were also pretty tight disciplinarians who used little physical punishment but lots of creative punishment such as you did and the kids tend to remember these things!

I believe Jaden will always remember this year and all of it will serve to make him a better person. Good for you, Mom!

PS, now if we can just get you to do the casual sex talking I am trying to locate Chris's rubber ducky video for you.
