  • My youngest was so difficult I actually had to go to court and have her declared 'ungovernable', to protect myself. Though she resided in my home, she was the responsibility of the state, living by their rules and the consequence of not following those rules was determined by a judge.
    If you are curious how well it worked out for her, she quit high school at 15 and never went to college, even though she had a college fund (I had a great time on that money, by the way). She's still pretty much a fuck up at 30, and can't hold a job, because she still thinks she's smarter than everybody else.
    But this worked well for me as I was so tired of always being 'the bad guy' and it relieved me of the legal responsibility for a child the state wouldn't allow me to punish as I saw fit.
    Perhaps a little of 'the rod' might have made a huge difference in how her life turned out. We will never know.
