In article , Harold and Susan Vordos says...

Sorry, that calls for some serious intervention, and consistency.

Intervention doesn't have to be serious. But it *does* have
to be consistent. That's the key.

Kids need to know that if a parent says something's gonna
happen, if the parent says it's going to happen.

Every time a kid hears that something will, and it doesn't,
that's a behavior problem in the making.

Hence my wife's comment that when she was a kid, there was no
"wait till your father comes home" nonsense. You screwed up,
you got clobbered by mom, right on the spot.
