Tonight I brought the boy into the kitchen and looked him in the eye, “I don’t want any backtalk.
I don’t want any argument.
I don’t want you to tell me what your friends are doing tonight.
I will not take no for an answer.
This is what you are going to do.”
I saw the look come across his face that told me he wasn’t happy but he knew there was no way out.
“Go over to that couch, sit on your butt and play video games until midnight.”
He has been in full compliance. I guess I showed him who’s Boss.
