For some reason there are allot of people who think that it is somehow non PC to control their kids.
I wish I could say there are only a few but thats not the case.
When I was a kid, if I was screaming, my mother’s exact words would be “Stop screaming right now or I’ll give you something to scream about”, and believe you me, we shut our pie holes.
:) Most parents did not put up with screaming. We all did the same thing. Stop the screaming or you are coming in. They did. Not necessary to scream. yell and play???? Heck yes...that’s being a kid but all the screaming???? It’s annoying to everyone and not necessary. However, sending the parents to jail? Is there more to this story than what we are reading???? Doesn’t pool water and yelling go hand in hand...followed by splashing friends or siblings and laughing liek crazy then followed by SOMEONE crying when it turns into an argument? Ha,ha. Ahhh, life as a kid...:)
