    That’s all fine and dandy until they misbehave and you can’t follow through by sending them to school on the weekend.

      This is just one of the many examples of why parents today have grown so soft and refuse to give any true punishment to their children. Back in ye good old days when I was a wee lad I went to school 12 hours straight no breaks or anything and if I didn’t my dad broke a metal chair over my rear end. Then all the sudden the democrats took over and things suddenly got worse. Overall I think people should definitely toughen up and parent their kids more effectively if they want to defeat crooked B*den and make America great again.

      You could try to make up some other shit to cover for it, how school told them that the kid needs to do chores at home for those two days or something. With their system it’d make sense to have a plan for this situation.

      Or you just enjoy it while it lasts and drop it when it fails

      This kid will start pushing this boundary in like 3 weeks (like every kid pushes every damn boundary all the time) and then OP will have a problem on their hands, when the kid decides that OP is toothless.

      I totally could send them to school on the weekend.

      Saturday is when the schools around here typically have detention. I’ll just email the school and have the kid go to detention. Then on Sunday: Sunday school at a church.
