But, you’re right. It’s better to be stern than to create monsters.

My son still does this. You tell him not to do something and you lay out what the consequences are. He does it anyway. Then he starts crying and telling you how horrible and unfair you are.

It’s times like that when I force myself to think of those spoiled brats whose parents cater to their every demand. If I cave in now, I’m going to create a monster.
