I did not say he say my 20 yr old did or would disciplne my boyfriends son in any way. Just that he wanted to. My idea of punishment is taking the cell phone for 2 weeks and grounding to the house for two weeks. My boyfriend grounds and then lets them out of it the same day. When my things are stolen, nothing is said and there is no punishment. So, yes. My son WANTED to do some punishing, but would do nothing. my son has been in trouble for stealing. But he says you do not steal from those at home. Well used to say that. He was much younger then. He has changed. I tried to talk to his son about why he took my panties and the other females panties(he has a large collection) he denies taking any. Even though I found my panties in there and my youngest son found some of his girlfriends in there. There is no talking to him. He will lie quicker than he will breath. and Dad will just say ok to avoid the fight.
