I will preface this with the admission that, as a youth, I was "onery", and since I grew up around strong southern women, I have a flat spot on the back of my head and one ear that hangs longer than the other one and a serious flinch when I realize I just said the wrong thing to a woman.
But I have some friends who live in Missouri. She is the poster lady for southern grace, charm and hospitality, when you visit her home you are royalty and comfort beyond belief, best food, etc.
She is raising her twin 7yr old grandsons. Now these two monkeys have been known in the past for a entertaining circus of idiot kid yard ape escapades and up to now, their biggest crime had been the destruction of a wall mount 72" LED TV by spinning the remote on a string, and appropriate wood shed did occur. And they have a rap sheet with the elementary school that has caused teachers to retire early. But yesterday morning, they collapsed the above ground swimming pool and flooded the neighbor's yard and basement with 17,000 gallons of water.
Her husband Max, great guy and fun sense of humor tells me this morning, "ya know as a young man I had always been warned about what happens when a woman actually has a real conniption and what a scary thing it can be, and God bless her, she has mastered the art of controlling it, but those two boy's butt cheeks will never be the same, she delivered one swat, every 10 minutes for an hour to each. Accurately placed, correct power level and follow through."
Max said she went out to her garden and sat in a lawn chair with a fly swatter slappin bugs and smoking cigarettes for about an hour and a half.

The neighbor's are gone, owner operator truckers, so he will have to see if he can track them down to see how bad the damage to their house is. Max said a freakin 17000 gallon tsunami hit that side of their house.

I bet those two boys have a long un fun summer
 
The neighbor now has his own in-house swimming pool & he didn't have to buy the water. Sounds like a good deal with the heat wave we have been having in the Southwestern part of CO.
 
Her punishment reminds me of my time in South Korea. We had a detachment of ROK Army and a detachment of KATUSA ( K orean A ugment T o U. S. Army) soldiers. The Katusa were the children of the financially better off Koreans and there was no love lost between the ROK and KATUSA.
One KATUSA did something really wrong and part of his punishment was to kneel at the front of the ROK sergeants desk, and when ever the sarge felt like it , he'd walk round his desk and slap or punch the kid 8 hrs of that ,,and the kid didnt make a sound or more time was added.
 
Yeah, it's a liberal thing. You fail to list the state you reside in, I didn't. I could be wrong, but I believe you've said MA. That could have something to do with your views on taking care of business.
 
TitanX-

You seem quick to judge. You cannot say Max isn't doing a good job fathering those kids. Well let me back up and say won't kids be kids? But you can't say the mom is doing all the job of sheriff-ing those boys into responsible adults. Beyond this example you know nothing of the two kids. For example how their behavior or grades are in school or what their home life is...

This is one story told second hand of them. Well like I said...quick to judge and lay blame.

I'm going to guess that beating these kids doesn't straighten them out.

Monsters who are PISSED can be even more menacing.

Perhaps they warrant some professional help.

From your description is sounds like SHE is raising her kids, and Max is just her husband. If Max isn't also their father, that's another potential tip off to a need for some counselling.

They are experts in problem kids with many years experience, seriously, Max raised a son with Downs Syndrome, and broken home kids are always a hand full.
The school asked them how to deal with the boys.
You know, they are good boys, but geeze anymore, if a kid does anything near the crap I pulled when I was younger, Max and I had a long talk about this, I have actually been used as a "big mean guy who did not like you two acting up in public around him"

They are twin boys, almost 8yrs old, country raised hooligans
they come by it honest from their SW Missouri DNA

Ok one of them at school, he and another kid were touching each other in line, poking, horseplay, so the school's PC punishment for such goofin is to have to wear big Mickey Mouse gloves to remind them not to touch others.
So this kid teased him that he could not touch him and Issac headbutted the kid in the nose and sent him to the ER.
There are members of this board who would have probably done the same thing in his shoes
 
When we were kids "BACK in THE DAY" my sister was watching us and we climbed a tree and sassed her that she couldn't whip us.. She climbed up in the tree and whipped till we jumped out. My next nephew climbed way up (thin limbs) . Wouldn't hold both of them. She said you will have to come down when your mom gets back. 6 of us ( 1 girl) vs. her. Man did she make us mind. And sometimes when the other sisters got home they whipped there kids again. My lawyer says we will sue... Whipped me once for sliding down a barn roof.. Old Biddy..... :lol:
 
I would be concerned with the neighbors yard also. A guy I worked with had a large above ground pool installed
by a "discount pool company" it failed one night without any help from 7 year olds. The chlorine in the pool water flooded his neighbors yard and killed his grass. He had to pay for it to be resodded, your homeowners insurance may cover this.
Good Luck,
Cape Cod Terry :(
