So I just threw the TV out of the window...
Discussion
Little Ex has been getting a bit bold recently.
In fact we had an argument last year where he was screaming his nuts off about not being allowed access to the tablet computer at bed time, so I removed the problem by smashing the tablet and slinging it out of the window.
'There you go mate - there is no tablet computer any more - so we are are never going to argue about that again'.
Tonight we had a similar argument, only this time it was PS4 vs bed time.
Daddy said "No", kid says "Why?" Daddy says "because I say so" - everything escalates, so Daddy just removes the problem and slings the telly out of window. Ouch.
"You can't play the PS now? So better you shut up and go to bed like I asked you".
My advice, don't give your kids so much free space that they think they own it, and also when they pop up trying to contradict you - don't be afraid to show them a real consequence.
Oh and, pitching a TV out of the window is a real "rock star" experience that you should all try one time in life.
Any one got a telly they want to sell me?

You think showing your child that that destroying something, smashing something up is the right way to behave in order to win and argument?
Cool..
Next weeks lesson entitled "punching the interior doors when the mrs pisses you off?"
Better when you grab the carving knife - point it inwards and encourage her to push.Cool..

BTW, I'm trying to calm down a bit.
And I thought it would almost be as interesting as a Trump thread.
And has anyone else thrown a telly out of their window?
And has anyone got a cheap telly on offer?
Good that you're calming down, but the other guy was spot on. You're throwing a tantrum in front of your kid and you wonder why your kid thinks it's ok to throw a tantrum when they don't get their way?And I thought it would almost be as interesting as a Trump thread.

Grow up. Get some help. Hopefully your kid won't grow up to be like you.
Possibly the most accurate thing ever quoted on PH.Berwilliant.
Nobody else her ever lost their temper.
I do miss the telly though - I'm left with little more than reading PH.
Gotta say, that's pretty dysfunctional. Your son will copy your traits, in the short term you're fixing the problem, in the long term you're going to make it a whole lot worse.
Personally I've not thrown a TV out the window. I have thrown an old Nokia phone out a 2nd window to see if it would break, it didn't.

So, last year you threw his table out of the window, and this year your threw a television out of th window? You come across like an ignorant, abusive t
t. One day you'll probably wonder why your son left home as soon he could, never sends you a Father's Day card and doesn't invite you to his wedding. Either that or he'll simply turn into the same emotionally crippled man that you are.
