Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through

Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Sirius XM Triumph 111. He, welcome to the program.

Thanks for taking my call. I hope I have a pretty straightforward question for you.

My daughter and her six-year-old son are staying with us temporarily for about a month while she's

in between apartments. And so it's been a lot of fun, but my six-year-old grandson loves to cheat at

games. It could be a board game, it could be a game outside. He just wants to win. I don't mind

losing to a six-year-old. I also don't want to return into the little jerk that none of the kids

like. So I would love some suggestions on what I can do when that's happening.

Do you think your great-grandfather would have had to call me with this question?

Probably not. Now why do you think what's the difference between his generation of being a grandpa

and yours? That he would have no trouble handling this. And you do. Tell me what you think is the

difference. I think that his concern would be to make sure he turns into a good young man

and not that he turns into a fun kid. And I think that's what I'm striving for.

No, you didn't answer the question. You evaded it. You have the same concern, but he wouldn't have to

call me. Yeah. Why? Why? You weren't around with my great-grandfather was around. So there's one

I said he wouldn't have had to call me if I were there. Why not?

Probably because he's not worried about making everyone happy. He's more worried about doing the

right thing. Well, hmm. Why don't you shift your attention instead of cheating being a grandpa

just cheating and not being the grandpa you know you should be cheating because you don't want

anybody to be annoyed and you're more concerned with that than the status of a patriarch

in expecting correct moral behavior from the family. You're right. That's what has changed.

You folks now are more worried about being liked
