anybody got kids, past or present i got questions

Raised one daughter that is now 32. I can tell you this if every child was just like her the world would be a wonderful place. I can tell you what worked for us. Never make an idol threat, if you tell them your going to take away a privilege when they act up. DO IT! Once a child finds out that your not really going ground them, take their cell phone away, limit a social activity or what ever you threaten to take from them and don't follow through, you have lost control. Thou this is my daughter, my wife is her step mother. We married when my daughter was 5. And no i never had to use physical force.
She is married now,completed her Masters before that and is married to a great guy that is a computer programmer for the missile defense system. And I have a beautiful 8 month old grandson.
