We were told to do something once, maybe twice if it wasn't one of our normal chores, and then there was no figurative ass kicking, there was a real smack on the ass. That'll get you moving, and it never had to happen often. Wow – my parents were fun parents but they were strict parents.

Giving them the skills to help out, carry their own load, it will only do them good. Sorry it came at the expense of your nerves and gave you such a rough time.

It's one thing to act out, but he did that KNOWING you would think your suitcase was in the car and that it would cost you that much time. At least you noticed that it wasn't in there then, and not when you arrived at your destination. OMG, I would have been so pissed!

I've been the "Strict Mommy" for almost three weeks now, and the changes have been amazing. Seriously. Good luck to you guys, and you and Rob being on the same page is a GREAT step also.
