I think my mom would have used soap. I made my daughter put her nose on the wall and she is standing there now crying.

Has anyone else dealt with the name calling?

I remember years ago when the kids were little that the word "stupid" was a bad word in our house and not allowed to be used. Honestly I cannot recall the dicipline that was used. But...I will say now as they are all adults but one that the names used now are soooooooooo much worse. UGH!!
