My kids know that it's a perfect time to laugh when someone breaks wind. Not really sure there's anything else of value I can teach them. It's probably best if mom fills their heads.

Not much to buy as they have all switched over to X-mas stuff already

Jeez, what is going on with our society ???
Nov 1st and the stores are covered in X-mas stuff !!!!
Every year it's the same ...

Halloween isn't even over yet and they're throwing the adds out there

Can't even get past the end of October and there are already X-mas adds on TV

I am so tired of consumerism

There has to be a new rule for retailers and media ....

No X-mas stuff until after Nov 15, or better yet, until Dec 1st
I hear ya, Costco has been selling their artificial christmas trees in our store since August. It's getting pretty ridiculous.

some people leave their christmas lights up all year. Plus there are those Christmas stores that are open all year round. So, one could argue that Christmas never ends!

He's popular, smart (has improved his grades big time this year) but hes short. And has 3 good parents (I'm his step mom). He's respectful at home, does his chores, and participates in the family. I've never been the parent who's child does no wrong, or fought their battles. This is hard but his choices last night have landed him in big trouble and I hope the system is tough on him. He has consequences at home.
Is he involved in any sports or other group activities? It has been my experience that keeping kids/teens active and involved with other peers usually keeps them out of trouble. It doesn't have to be school sports either, martial arts, boxing, youth groups, etc. all work equally well. It teaches discipline, self respect and respect for others. Giving a teenager a spanking isn't going to go very far and while there needs to be a punishment there also needs to be a new direction for the the kid to get rid of his frustrations in a healthy way. I think a friendly group environment with a bit of competition (either against his self or others) would do wonders. He may find some better friends that aren't a bad influence as well. Sit down and ask him what he likes or wants to do and find a group that he can participate in. The other thing that may help is for him to get a job of some sort or get him involved in volunteer work. My oldest wants to volunteer at the SPCA when she's old enough and we agreed that if she was to do that then we would pay her a salary in lieu of her getting a paying job.

This all sounds easy, and it could be, but if the kid hasn't had a lot of disipline since day one it is more difficult to enforce the older they get. I wouldn't rely on the courts to have much effect but loving parents will.
