[quote=Anonymous]A few years back we were at my IL house for Thanksgiving. Two of our boys got in an argument that started turning physical (they were 5 and 8) we tried talking to them and it didn't work so we each picked up a boy and took them up to the room we were staying in. It took 45 mins for them to calm down and then sit before we could go back down and behave respectfully. This was hours before dinner and we did not hinder anyone else's plans by being MIA. When we got downstairs my MIL gave me a hard time because we made the boys "miss all of the fun". Then the patriarch of the family (older than MIL and usually very quiet) spoke up and said he was so proud of us for actually "parenting our boys". He then pointed out that MIL had used a wooden spoon on every single one of her kids. Since that is no longer allowed your son and DIL did what was needed to teach their boys a lesson. It was so nice to have him stand up for us. [/quote]
