Aye, he could - but thats why I passed on my knowledge and wisdom to you two.... lol - so that I don't have to....lol

Always remember to explain to em that with every "right" they feel they have to do something, also comes with the word "responsibility" and that every "action" they do always has a "consequence" and to have respect for others and their property

My old dad had a very good theory about bringing up children, (and he should know, as he brought up 8 of us single handed after my mum died when I was 1, and still went out to work as well ) - it was "give children what they need, not neccessarily what they want" - think about that one carefully - it has great wisdom!!

Do they need the latest ipods or fashion??, - well maybe - or maybe they need love, attention, shared experiences, fresh air, a time to be kids and have fun, maybe they need to see places, allow them to achieve things for themselves - and maybe sometimes they need diciplining for breaking the rules
