A true point. Kids are special, but they need to have respect, earned or not, they need to have concequences for what they do wrong, and the need to know the world does not revolve around them. But they are still special.

My son is never bored. He is always out riding his bike, jumping onthe trampoline, rolling his go-cart, chopping something inthe woods or building something, and even playing video games. Not much direction needed with him. My daughter however does need direction now and then. She is great, but does say "I'm bore", which then gets her the oppurtunity to get a chore. Boredom is not allowed. My kids are pretty darn good, got no complaints, but my daughter definately need more direction. Otherwise a little wining and boredom comes out.

Ugh, while I was just writing this, my wife and mother in law were here and leaving to go garage saling. I hear a big scrape and cracking outside. My parents had left one of their cars here last night. She was moving it and backed into my Jeep. I guess my compliant would be this. My mother in law has hit one of our cars 3 times in my driveway. My wife has hit two cars, one trailer, and two bikes in my driveway, my complaint is this is too expensive. Expensive driveway. Stam, I guess I'll be seeing your shop.
