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.
That part is between you and her. If you feel strongly about this, wait till your wife's mad at the kid, then bring up what he should be allowed to watch. Much easier to get the wife on your side when she's mad.

I feel for you. You can be a perfect parent and have a perfect little girl (neither of which happened at my house) and you'll still be worried sick about what your teenage daughter will do when she's out with her friends. When she goes to get her learners permit, you'll suddenly become aware that NO ONE on this planet knows how to drive, and you'll worry about your little girl sharing the roads with these idiots.
Enjoy them young while you can.

Am just about ready to jump into my truck and just drive away....
Don't you just love that female hormone thing? It sucks right now, but you know as well as I do, she doesn't mean it.

And everybody else that are from all the roads around you remember the Steelers from the 70's and still hate them. So if you're gonna root for that team, keep it quite around any of your neighbors who are native Texans.
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.
Sounds like a sweet kid. You must be doin somethin right.

GO CARDS!! see if warner can pull it off.
Aww shucks. If Randy and I have kids I will definitely be the disciplinarian. Randy is a giant pushover. LOL.
Kids throw around words like hate without really understanding what it means. Of course she does not mean it.

That and I am providing a good home to her and her newborn son while her husband is overseas with the Marines.
Needless to say, it's got me feeling pretty down today.
Scott...try not to be too down about it. She is a woman, and is married and has a newborn baby, but at 19 she still has a lot of growing up to do. Later in life she'll understand how she hurt you by saying such things..but right now I am sure she does not see the significance of it.
She does not mean it...she just knows it'll hurt your feelings and slow you down for a while. You are a good man.
