  3. I like the poop patrol punishment....guess you could say they're on a SH*T list! (really, don't say that to them)!
    When my middle drama queen daughter was 14, she got mad at me one day and stomped down the hall to her bedroom and SLAMMED the door. I got up, went to get my pink tool box and went in right behind her. When I came back through the den, I was carrying her door. My hubby was cracking up. She had to dress in her closet for a year, but she never slammed another door!
    I like your rules....good job!
