For those non-bloggers out there, threatening to post on Facebook works just as well. Not tech saavy -- I love the laundry or the distribution of whatever is irking you. I am also fascinated by the share problem of people who wear their coats indoors. Dont do that!!! Rob and Goofdad-

And Ms. Em, thanks for adding me to your list of blogs. I think my Good Looking Doctor post today is my favorite thus far!

I hope this works for you long term. My worry would be that once he realizes that nobody he knows reads your blog, he'll give up on caring. If it were me, I'd start spreading your blog all over your neighborhood to avoid it! LOL! And...terry...All it takes is once! I'd say, as long as it's not pornographic, just embarassing ... go for it! Reminds me of the 7th Heaven episode where mom spread all their laundry across the front yard because nobody put it away.

I've never had to post it, he always shapes up instantly. Later, he's even asked to watch the video and we get a good laugh at how ridiculous acting like that looks. Bet Steve Jobs never thought an iPhone could be such a handy parenting tool! When my 8-year old won’t stop whining I start taking video on iPhone and threaten to post it to Facebook.

I am so going to use it. I should have taken a picture of my 16-year-old last night video chatting with his girlfriend at midnight. Instead I went into bitch mommy mode. I love this tactic. You are very impressive indeed. My kids like to run around in their droopy boxers. Drives me crazy. Can I post those pictures?????????? The best strategy ever. I am so going to use it.

I happen to share the same pet peeve. When people where jackets inside it makes me nervous, sort of like when people won't sit down in a room and insist on standing up. My dad, who is perpetually freezing when he comes to visit, insists of not just wearing his jacket inside all day but SLEEPING in it. Drives me absolutely bonkers. Awesome strategy, Em!

I love the part about grabbing the camera- that is genius! It is also funny b/c my daughter was wearing her coat inside last week and it drove me nuts. I kept asking her to take it off, and, her response- it's comfy!!! She is also in fourth grade. Finally, I was so hot and bothered that I practically ripped it off her. She was so stunned, she hasn't worn it inside since! That is hysterical, Emily!!! I love the part about grabbing the camera- that is genius!
