I also have to agree with setting an example,you know the old saying "monkey see,monkey do".It also goes for kids
One problem I use to have when the boys got older and I would correct them.Their mother would chime in "well you done it"
I wil grant that in my younger years I raised a lot of hell and ran afoul of the law many times.I never stold or if possibe never hurt anyone and never done anything with the kids around
I really had a lot of explaing to them as they got older and heard some of the things I had done and what it had cost me

Thank you all for the words of wisdom.
My wife and I are pretty much on the same page on the discipline thing. She doesn't feel that what is watched,as far as the wrestling is concerned, are that big of a deal. And maybe it isn't. As far as the violence of some of the games out there, we are in agreement that they are not allowed in our home.
For the most part, he is well behaved and listens when he is told no, but being a 10 yo boy, he is pushing back a little more. That is to be expected I guess. I do explain why I don't want him watching this or that show or not playing such and such game and he listens and obeys, usually.
When he goes to a friends house and sees his friends watching and playing these "forbidden" shows and games I'm sure he's conflicted.
For the most part, I can discipline my children, most times with an explanation as to why they are being disciplined, and they do as they are told. A few minutes after the disciplinary action, they come up and say they are sorry for what they did, give me a hug and tell me they love me.

Yea, easy to say, but hard to do sometimes, right Ray? I guess as long as I'm on my soap box, I'll throw one more thing out there. Kids learn a lot more about how they are supposed to act by observing their parents than they do by listening to them. Leadership by example is something to keep in mind. When you think your kids aren't watching or paying attention to what you do, or how you do it, you're wrong. They are paying attention.
I haven't heard it since.( but then again she will be a teenager someday).
GO CARDS!! see if warner can pull it off.
