mf09 tells us more.
I happen to be the OP and to the folks who think I am mean because I didn't let him go to the scouting event: it is a SPECIAL event. He's not out of scouts. He just needed a really serious wake up call. To the folks who think I am mean because I punished him for being a smart ass: The reality is this was a compound offense. He got into trouble for not doing what I asked and got a minor punishment (chores). He got mouthy about the chores and lost his special event. To the folks who think I need to paddle him more: you may be right but he's getting too old for that. To the folks who think I shouldn't let him throw the tantrum: Awesome idea, beyond smacking him as suggested and grounding him as done, what's the methodology for that? He stayed in his room to howl and holler. I ignored it and posted my FML. Special event at school next week will be cancelled too if he keeps it up. Love my boy. Tough love today.

Serves you right for being a tightass.
Might just post again. You're the reason so many kids are in gaol these days. Kids need discipline. I was actually talking about this in class today, and an entire class full of 20-40 year olds agreed that if we had've backchatted to our parents when we were kids, we would've been punished just as hard. You YDIers are the reason so many kids are in jail these days. You're the reason I see 3 year olds walking down the street swearing at their parents and chucking tantrums in the mall, you probably ARE the 3 year olds I see. Grow up and learn to parent. I really hope none of you ever decide to procreate, earth does not need your demon spawn roaming the streets -_-;

cub scouts don't camp out.....soooooo fake
Teaching kids respect for the people around them has suddenly become a bad thing. It's sad that people think the punishment was too severe. The punishment is solely up to the discretion of the parent. Only she would know his habits and behaviors enough to know the fitting decision. Only she knows the circumstances surrounding the event. That being said, I think she did the appropriate thing.

it's called spanking him and putting him on time out and take away his toys are you dumb or something?
