Re: !!Frustrated Dad!!
I agree with D4T that consistency is KEY!!!! No matter how you discipline--if you're inconsistent, your children will be constantly pushing the boundaries--because they're confused as to where those boundaries actually are!
Pick your battles wisely--but IF and WHEN you pick one--make sure you win it.
