[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with pp. your son is going to call you worse things than stupid over the course of childhood and the teen years. [/quote] Maybe. Maybe not. A lot depends on how these things are handled early on. If you expect/tolerate it now, it's only going to get worse. If you make it clear - every single time - in words and deeds that "we do not talk to each other that way in our family," you have a better chance of having a kind and respectful home down the line. Also, "stupid" is about the worst insult a six year old knows. At least I hope so. Just because older kids can come up with worse names doesn't mean You should tolerate a six year old calling his parent "stupid". OP: see the punishment through to the end. [/quote] Also, if you "forget" and go with two, you risk giving him reason to think you are indeed "stupid" because you can't keep track of the punishment. That obviously would not serve you well.
