We had a bit of an incident this weekend that I describe in the video above. On the ride home, I read my kids the riot act, and they actually straightened up. Whatever I said must have really sunken in because they cleaned the house from top to bottom with no additional intervention from me. In honor of this unexpectedly positive outcome, I want to hear your “scared straight” stories. What’s a time when your kid (or maybe you when you were a kid) crossed a red line, and you played the nuclear option. Let’s hear those happy endings where parents actually win. See you in the comments.
