Summary
Why do you discipline your kids? What happens when your kids aren't characters you like? Ultimately it means YOU aren't being a good character. This SASF discussion ventures into the fraught world of parenting for a discussion of when kids are in control, when your home tiptoes so that one kid doesn't get upset, and why your kids should be well-behaved -- so that you can do awesome things with them. There are also stories containing tears and blood, and advice on how to deal with adults who aren't great characters either.
