In reply to the discussion: Grown Ups Don't Shoot Laptops [View all]abolugi
(417 posts)5. I thought so to but..
obviously from the reactions it received a lot people think it's o.k..
I, myself, was shocked by his reaction but even my husband kind of thought it was funny. Kids complain.They always have and they always will. If my parents would have heard some of the things I said about them..
Hell, my daughter did the same thing. I simply took her computer away for a month and made her feel guilty about it. It worked very well. I've been accused of being too mellow but I guess thats just me.
I've just come to the conclusion that some people raise their kids different than me. Not wrong, I suppose. Just different.
