I (ashamed) have said worse to my 16 year old rebellious son. That is if you think the threat of physical harm is worse:o) Parents arent perfect and Im not bucking for Dad of the year...I just desire that my boys grow up respecting their parents and all authority figures...its the training all children need but many dont get.

That is if you think the threat of physical harm is worse:o) It is worse if you just said it as a threat with no intention of following through or did not follow through when the behavior warranted it. Threats as punishment only reinforce bad behavior when your actions prove they were empty words and the child can get away with murder. It also tells the child that his parent is a liar.
