I think he was definitely in is rights the kids were naughty so they lose the reward. I love the family psychologist opinion, mainly because we had a family counselor for a neighbor and it was my far the most screwed up family I've ever seen, ie incest (brother an sister) violence, drugs divorce theft beatings you name it, the kids were safe in jail before a murder took place.

For a family with good financial resources, both parents were Doc's they could hold their own against anything I've seen on J. Springer. From the innocent draining the swimming pool without dad's permission for skateboarding, borrowing dad's car at 12 years old selling acid to neighborhood kids as candy, you get the picture.

HOUSTON - 'Twas the week before Christmas, and chaos did reign. The kiddies were squabbling. Oh, what a pain! Their language was shocking, their demeanor obscene. But to correct them was useless, you know what I mean?

So to the computer, Dad sprinted so spry. "There's going to be order, or you'll regret it," he cried. Then typing and clicking like wee, tiny elves, he summoned up eBay, determined to sell.
