Might not even have these same wonderful kids....so pretty much, no regrets except one:Quote:

When the threat didn't work, I pulled over, put her out of her carseat on the side of the road and drove away.
I didn't drive far of course...only about 10 feet or so...
but still, I've never stopped feeling guilty about it. To this day, I'm not sure if it might have had some sort of adverse effect on her.

Good for you! One thing I can't stand is when parent say "If you don't stop" I'll do this or do that, but never actually mean it. My wife worked in a record store (CD store for you young whippersnappers) for years, and always complained about the parents who came in and walked around the whole store saying "Quit that, or we're going to leave!" over and over and over. They didn't mean it, and that's exactly what the kids learned. If I threaten the kids with something, I'd better damn well carry through. You did. Well done.Quote:

As to sticking your kid on the side of the road... Id done that! Hes 4 now, 5 on the fourth of July, Iv never had to put him out to get the threat to work, just the pulling over and telling him to get outworked, now all i have to do is ask him if he plans on walking home and he behaves.
I wouldnt use it but I cant have him kicking the back of my seat! or screaming at the top of his lungs or hitting the other kids.
and sometimes...I really would like to stick him out and drive off!
I like this answer. :2thumbs: My favorite quote is "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." I'm still alive and kickin'! :2thumbs:Quote:

I'm afraid I've become a callous tough ole' bastard and I'm gonna stick around 'cause I CAN and want to , not because I 'have to'. YOU dont have to do anything you dont want to - really.
...didn't mean to make this rough sounding, but tough...deal with it :mrgreen:
OK... so I would not have dated "Tish the Dish".... she was the only woman who ever actually tried to kill me.... several have threatened, but she was the only one to ever give it an honest try.Quote:

Most of the important decisions have worked out well. If I changed them, there would most likely be undesirable consequences. However, it would be easy to find a few decisions relating to stocks that would be good to change.
Ok.....I have to ask......what the hell do you do that has made several women want to kill you? :haha:Quote:

I was busy with a client and sending my calls to voice mail, and he and I had plans to meet later that day. First message was nice and sweet and ended with "see you later." Next message was "Well......guess you're busy. Talk to you later." Third was something like "Well.....I guess you're busy, but you could answer just to let me know we're still on for tonight." By the time he got to the last message he accused me of blowing him off, being rude and inconsiderate and if I didn't want to see him anymore, why didn't I just say so, why did he always pick women who treated him badly, etc....etc. :eek2:
I decided it was best not to continue the relationship. :haha:
So now you are a good boyfriend? :haha: Where do you keep your cork? :lol8:Quote:
