Tasers and Teens

[FineThings4U]

Dear Platzki,

Having three teen boys in the house (all of the are waaaaay bigger than I am) is taking its toll.  I'm so exhausted at the end of the day, because feeding them is a full time job, that it takes all that's left of my energy to jump up and pin them against the wall.

What do you think about just getting a taser and shocking them like a farm animal when they start?  It would shut their mouths and make for some cheap entertainment.

Since they eat like horses, cows and pigs it just seems like a reasonable answer.  What do you think?

Please note:  I have animals and since they don't talk, I have never had to resort to such measures.

Hmmmm... as the mother of a teenage boy myself, this is a tough one.  I'm always in the mood to taser that little sucker when he gives me back talk.... or when he tells me theres nothing to eat after I spend $200 at ACME or when he decides that (for some god-only-knows reason) that he deserves an XBOX 360 and his father and I should treat him or how about this... he decides that his sister is old enough now to do some of his chores so he doesn't have to do that anymore. 

Man... he makes me so mad!!!!   

So yes!!! Taser them, wrap them in duct tape and feed them peas!!!!  Show naked baby pictures of them to their girlfriends and friends.  Switch all of their underwear for Superman Underoos and for gods sake... do something nice for yourself for a change!!!  Read a book, go to a movie, go to the beach... but do something!!!

WHEW!  I need a glass of wine!   :drunk:

Thanks for visiting Ask Platzki!  Come again!

Fine, don't think of it as a taser...call it a mood modifier.

Where does one buy a taser? Just curious!
