should i belt the little runt?

[Mick-Talbot]

My 7 year old has his head on, he has just been fetched back from his grandparents because he climbed on top of the freezer in the garage.
I made him sit on a bench in the garden so i can keep an eye on him.
after 5 mins he came to me and said

'dad i'm bored can i have a proper punishment.'
'like what son?'
'hit me'
'then what?'
well that's my punishment done and i can go play.

well?

Because i am in the garden with a cement mixer running Headwreck...........is that ok with you?

The old 'uns are the best. [:o)

Well get him to help you with the cement mixing and teach him a few things.

[mrs.chappie]

Just make sure you don't get any cement on the laptop, Mick - or we'll send you to sit on the naughty bench with him. [:o)

For Funks Sake its getting worse. his older brother has just come home and asked why he has to sit where he is sat.

'get lost tw@@t '

oldest just told me and spelt out the word t w a t.
the -little-un heard all this and has just said to me

dad do you know what he said? then proceeded to try and spell t w a t

he said ....................t- a- a tw@@t

Mick-Talbot,

You certainly don't seem to have control of your kids, have you thought about some help from the social services?

[trt]

I forgot to add, I would never call my child a runt!

The "Dad I'm bored" complaint Implies that the punishment you dished out worked IMO.
"Little runt" doesn't sound like a term used by a loving father though - I hope that's just your sense of humour.
