Fro, re-read my post, this time with your eyes open.
I have a life and it is my family.

My point is that a lot of other Parents think they can continue to act like teenagers going out partying every w/e and taking lots of vacations leaving the kids with someone else. Leaving the kids with before and after school care so they can move up the corp ladder working long hours. Hanging with their friends every day while the kids entertain themselves.

This is the Life I was referring to that I have put on hold.

some of it is food related, I've seen cases where food was used as a reward.

Are we talking about dogs or kids.

"Here Johnny, come. Now sit down and do your homework and you can have these six Twinkies I have sitting here waiting for you"

That is pretty sad.

My parents wouldn't even allow us to have sugar pop in the house. No Coke, Sprite, 7Up only when we had the flu.

I didn't know 7up had such medicinal properties.
