[quote=genetic;2452874]Disciplining him is the way to teach him, in my view. You have no reason to feel guilty; it's your job to help him learn to behave, as I see it.

I'd even hold him responsible and arrange to have payments made to you when he gets his first job and starts to make a little money. Nothing teaches like a good scare sometimes.

Please try not to feel bad about discipline. Feel good about yourself for tackling a problem and trying to make a good man of your son. He needs the training--all kids do.
