They are not desperate for our love apparently.

I really don't know how adults manage to become subservient to the whims of a two-year-old, or an eight-year-old, or a sixteen-year-old.

I'm the boss, and my kids know it. The wife's been a harder sell.

"The wife's been a harder sell."

I know what you mean ... these older models are definitely more difficult to unload without taking a loss in the sale. I've tried, and I can't even get the Blue Book value for mine.

(Pause) ...

Oh, not that kind of "sell"?
(In my best Emily Latella voice) Never mind.

I am AMAZED at the number of parents who refuse to discipline their kids at home and wonder why they act like primates on PCP at the grocery store. I swear to you I saw a father, A FATHER, tell his 8 year-old son that if he didn't come out of the pool, he was going to call the police. The son's response was to tell his friend "He's going to call mom". I would die.
