Don't get me wrong,when my kid fails and pulls his head out....I will be there to pick up the pieces.But its gonna be a while.I am not a violent parent or anything by all means,and I am not unfair by all means,he is really that delusional right now.     Hey ronhartsell,it sounds like your kids had a grip on reality from the sounds of it. Thats great to hear.Does that mean "you" had to kick some butt when they were younger?  I'm starting to be afraid of you ronhartsell!!! lol!


Bev,that is unreasonable for him to make the kid walk up to the store for an unworthy reason I agree.

Because he is afraid of me right now because the next time I see him,my foot is going soooo far up his ass he will never get it out!  I'm going to sit back and watch him fail,and to tell ya the honest truth....I am enjoying it.   If some of you out here are one of these lazy kids....get off your &*%#!@* asses and do something!!  Edited at: Saturday, March 07, 2009 3:01:19 AM
