Markalang, just curious, why did you join this forum just to quote a book? Do you even have any kids?

Ok, now I see how I've confused things. First, the "brat" reference was to another post, not to the quote that I posted (it was in the title of that other post). I was just amazed that a situation could get so bad that the methods in that other post would need to be employed, but I guess it could happen. Secondly, I did not write a book, and I'm not pushing one.
Anyway, to answer your question, yes I have three teenagers, all very well behaved young adults of whom I am very proud. You ask why I joined a forum to quote a book? I am facinated by the consequences of inconsistent parenting, and the way teenagers that have come into my household as guests take advantage of that inconsistency with their parents. I was curious to solicit other opinions, but maybe this is the wrong place for that? Just shows my inexperience with web forums. Case in point - Dadu2004 says my first post is too spammy - I'll have to ask my daughter what that means!
