Way to go, Dad! Your dad taught you and your brother in a way that neither of you will ever forget to respect women.Miles wrote:I remember one of the coolest, and scariest, things I saw my dad do was put my brother in his place. There weren't many problems with my brother and I growing up. We were good kids, made plenty of mistakes and had our fair share of screwups, but we both loved and respected our parents and we had a happy family. I don't know what happened but one day when we were in high school my brother had a bug up his ass about something and he let my mother know it. It hurt her feelings pretty bad and my dad let my brother know he wasn't thrilled with his behavior, and Jonathon said some typical, badass teenage crap like "whatever, she's my mom" and my dad raised his eyebrow, leaned into Jonathon's face and said "She may be your mother, but she's my wife and nobody talks to my wife that way."
HOLY CRAP I almost died. It was awesome and I had never seen my brother so humbled. Great thing about having a big brother is he'll make mistakes for you, all you have to do is pay attention. I never made that same mistake.
On a sidenote, Jonathon got to use the same technique a few years ago when his son started getting too big for his britches. Way to go Dads!

Honest and brilliant of him. Bless his heart and yours ... I mean it. If more parents weren't afraid of their own teenagers this would be a much better world.Miles wrote:I remember one of the coolest, and scariest, things I saw my dad do was put my brother in his place.

Amen, Ima. I can't tell you the numbers of kids I see in court who openly sass their parents and grandparents. I don't have a short fuse, but I told one kid once if he told his grandma to "shut up" again in court, I was going to shut him up.Ima Facultiwyfe wrote:Honest and brilliant of him.
