Burt's Bees has been my go to. There is one part of my lip that cracks and breaks during dry or really cold weather. The crack looks like I've been punch in the lip (and it does bleed if it gets too dry). Started using Burt's and haven't had it happen for an entire year.

Burt's Bees Original. Good for the lips and eyelids when I need a good high.

Drugs are a helluva drug.

It's really the list-making that takes it to another level, I think.

Yes! I do a form of this. My kid is only 3, so my thing is I first firmly say no. Often times, he actually stops. But....... if he's in a mood, 2nd thing I do is: time out. But, if he's refusing to take a time out/still acting really bratty, I threaten to take a toy away and place it outside by the curb for another…

Although when we lived in our old neighborhood, there was a particularly bumptious kid next door who was always getting into stuff and causing problems. One day he was looking over the fence at my husband who was digging out weeds and asked if he could try that. He showed him how to use the tool, and told him if he…

When we were shitty little kids, my mom sat us down and enthusiastically said, "Let's make a list of all your favorite things! What are your most favorite toys and your favorite things to do?" After we excitedly told her these things and she wrote them down, she put the list on the fridge and said, "Now, next time you…

I'd keep it old-school and just make my misbehaving child push a boulder up a hill.

I feel like punishment options are nearly endless if you take into account physical labor. My parents had me doing my fair share of chores in the first place, and when I broke the rules I would have to pick up a chore they knew I hated or — even better — get resigned to some sort of Sisyphean errand.

Everytime I hear stories like this it only furthers my belief that the rules for training young children how to behave properly are the same as training a dog.

that even works with adults!

Oh they were the worst, those year 7 b.c. kids. Always tearing through town on their donkey carts blasting that damned loud Lyre music.

There is no performance if there is no audience

Yes. Basically the way I've tried to look at it is this: My daughter is the world's worst troll. If I get angry, then she wins!

Children are smarter than you think. If you don't think you can sit them down, look at them in the eye, and talk to them, then you're the idiot. Even at two you can talk to them. I remember Oprah giving this tip a very long time ago on her show: "Lower your tone of voice when you reprimend them. Don't raise your…

Fill them with existential dread that their lives are meaningless when they misbehave?
