DISCIPLINE

[Duchess]

Do you discipline your kids? Do you make them pay for their transgressions or do you let them slide? Have you ever grounded them or taken away privileges? Did your parents discipline you?

I've been grounded for calling one of my brothers a nigger. I once called my Mom out of the house to check out my new skill of popping a wheelie and the moment the front tire lifted off the ground the pack of cigarettes I had just swiped from my Mom flew out from under the seat where I had hidden them. Again, grounded. Typically the things that got me grounded were for what my Mom called, giving her lip or having a "smart mouth". To this day I don't understand that expression at all.
