Sitting around the table one day with my 3 kids.
Eldest one pipes up "Dad, we've decided we want such and such for dinner. And the fact there are 3 of us, and this is a democracy... then you got to do as we say..."
I reply "News for you kids. My family is *not* a democracy. What I say goes...."

You treat me just like Cinderella.
Oh yeah? Name a time when we lived in a house that had a fireplace and you had to clean it. You don't have any step sisters and those clothes you're wearing? I paid good money for them. If you want to pretend my car is a pumpkin, go right ahead.
When I turn 18, I'm moving out and I'm going to find a good paying job and have lots of money!
Good for you. Get a job cleaning chimneys. I hear chimney cleaners make good money.
(Note to self)
Her 18th birthday finally got here and I could barely get her to come out of her room let alone out of the house.

After a heated debate with my two teens a few years ago I was getting no where and admit some of it my fault so I said:
There is no rule book for a parent you know and sometimes we do f**k Up. So sorry i am not perfect but who is?"
Row over and lots of cuddles and a lot more respect from all sides.

Yes you are right there. I have two kids and my son doesn't like vegetables, or should I say anything that is good for him.
He is 12 and I have a daughter that is 7 and she loves everything apart from baked beans.

Some few years ago i remember reading about a father who reported on his home life with his 'teenage' daughter.
They were comfortably 'well-off' and the daughter was 'bemoaning the fact that they were wealthy while there were so many poor people out in the world.'
Finally, the father pointed out that 'it was him and her mother who we wealthy, she wasn't. She had yet to earn that status.'

Let the majority provide the fruits of their labours so that all may benefit, in your home.
Best wishes.

I don't have kids, but on my way home one day, a little girl told me her friend had just thrown a snail under a car. I turned round and said "But he probably had a wife and kids." The child was horrified!
