Hi, If you mean how strick am I with kids then I am stricter than allot of people I know. Even with other people's kids. I tend to have no less than 4 kids here at all times. I only have two boys but aways have the neighborhood kids here. I have quite a few rules that must be followed, or I ground them from coming to my house for a while. There are times that I have 8 to 12 kids here running around and I cannot have them going wild and not listening with that many kids. I have even made other kids that got into trouble with my boys, scrub my hardwood floor with scrub brushes. He has not messed up since.They are all good kids , but they are kids. I am stricter with them here than other people are to my kids at there houses. But I am not having kids get hurt here because they wont listen.
Now some people think I am to strick with my boys. But I stick my tough out to them. My boys say yes mam and thank you to every one. The are very good boys. I am not one of those people who spare the rod and spoil the children. I don't hit my kids ( except for a smack to the back of the head now and then) But I find other ways to make then straighten up and fly right. They roll there eyes at me and they get to do dishes for the next two days. No dishwasher here. You smart back and you are scrubbing the tub. But they are respectful to me and every one else. You wont here my kids cussing at all much less cussing at an adult like some little punks I have heard.
People seem to think that there is a problem with youth today. THERE IS!!!! they need a foot up there butts and someone to set then on the straight and narrow!

Loool i enjoyed reading your comment and i think you work to raise these 2 boys.
i like your ways of grounding your children, at least they will learn at the end how you work hard and how you really love them.
I think that you are not that strict cuz i have been seen people who are much stricter with their kids as they are in a prison not in their home.
from my own point of view strict doesn't only mean putting the rules it means how you make people comfortable, happy, satisfied with these rules.:)
because there is no fun in controlling somebody they way we like or see as it's the proper and acceptable way. Actually there is must be a balance in the rules.

Thank you. Like I said all the kids in the neighborhood hang out here, so I guess I must not be all that bad. I have also had those kids parents come to me and ask for advice on how to get there kids to act at home the way they do here. I always help them, but after letting kids get away with every thing for years it is going to be an uphill battle to break them of things you don't like. But it is definitely worth it in the end. I know some people say there is a fine line between discipline and abuse I say those people are dumb a*ses! There is such a gulf there I cant see the other side. You dont have to beet your kids to have good kids. Sorry I could go on for days about the way kids are raised nowaday's lol.
