If I was holding Ace-King, I would have done the same thing. <BR/><BR/>It's better that he learned his lesson from you and not the hard way. Can you imagine Rogan coming home and telling you "Dad, I need the title for the car"<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>BBStronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795381642029132764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-1133282223752347082005-11-29T16:37:00.000+00:002005-11-29T16:37:00.000+00:00I agree with what you said - you have to not only ...I agree with what you said - you have to not only teach him this lesson, but also teach him that when dad says something, he will stand by what he said. Children need that respect.<BR/><BR/>That said, perhaps you could have offered a consolation prize the next night, like letting him stay up a half an hour early for "being a man and standing by his word".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435473760294052609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-1133273274239729282005-11-29T14:07:00.000+00:002005-11-29T14:07:00.000+00:00Kids are the funniest.

So far, he's called my house, his grandparents, and I think France or Italy.<BR/><BR/>But seriously, this ties into the whole "rule by fear, rule by love" thing.Gyrobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256636954723983135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-1133266922055939252005-11-29T12:22:00.000+00:002005-11-29T12:22:00.000+00:00Adam - welcome to my ramblings - glad you're enjoy...<B>Adam</B> - welcome to my ramblings - glad you're enjoying them. Kids are an absolute pain in the a*** sometimes, but I wouldn't trade being a dad for the world. It is truly the greatest thing that a man can be.<BR/><BR/><B>Another Rebecca</B> - I'm sure you are not just "another rebecca"! Have you thought about using your surname initial so that rather than being "another rebecca", which does you down, you could be "Rebecca S" or "Rebecca L" or whatever initial it is?Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-1133246594488428422005-11-29T06:43:00.000+00:002005-11-29T06:43:00.000+00:00I'm not sure who to sympathize more with- I can pr...I'm not sure who to sympathize more with- I can pretty easily identify with both you and Rogan, blessed as I am with a large amount of hard-headedness...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-1133215774042992072005-11-28T22:09:00.000+00:002005-11-28T22:09:00.000+00:00Kid's not really sure about having them in the fut...Kid's not really sure about having them in the future - work with them so hope I dont need any of my own :) <BR/><BR/>Great to read your blog, a very fresh and real view on life.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13937183462217258770noreply@blogger.com
