lol.
Mel, you're a mom after my own heart. We use natural consequences almost exclusively with my son. (OK, I do. Sigh.) Sometimes the fun of thinking up the natural consequences is enough to offset any irritation I have over the behavior. And if done properly, I am not the "bad guy", he doesn't feel shamed or persecuted by his mean old mom. If I'm really good at it, he doesn't even realize he's been disciplined. :)
