I have 2 boys that are currently 14 and 11. They have never, nor will they ever (dooming myself here I know?!) put a dent in one of our cars... How have I done that? Since birth I have exercised the fear of God to them about what will happen if they tap my car with anything; scooter, bike, toy, door... heck, they arent even allowed to put their fingers or hands on the cars. Yeah, some people say I am a bit crazy obessesive about it and no, I am not a monster as a father. I have never spanked my kids. Its just my tone, rarely raise my voice. Ask anybody who knows me...
