while we were in high school. The next morning my mom looked at me: “you knew he was sneaking out and didn’t say anything??”

Yeah, we were all pretty well behaved. I think the key counter balance was that we didn't really have spoken rules

That's awful. Punching your kid in the face?

Not as awful as some of the effects of underage drinking.

Jun 1, 8:24am

Most of the effects of drinking are not worse than a father punching their kid in the face. That’s just stupid. You

I would have waited until he came home and hid in his closet with a clown mask

Really depends on the kid.

One thing that kept me out of trouble was not wanting to break my parents trust.
