Default Child Cruelty ?

OH has two young kids from her first marriage.

Long story short, I have inadvertantly discovered that the TV remote from a small portable TV is compatible with the main TV and when the kids are naughty I hide the portable remote in my pocket and press the off switch while clicking my fingers at the same time.

The children thus believe I have magical powers and when they are naughty and the wrestling is on or perhaps Me Too on CBeebies I start clicking my fingers and saying ' Magic. Magic '

The kids then have the fear of whatever in them and behave impeccably as they think I have magical TV switching off powers.

Is this child cruelty, reasonable chastisement or downright genius ?

It's genius and you know it. So genius in fact than when we have kids, I'm going to get a second remote and do the same myself.

Don't forget to tell them that the little red sensor on alarm boxes is Father Christmas's webcam and when the light goes on it means he's watching. That gets the buggers behaving pronto

I've heard of people being told that when the ice cream van plays music, they've run out of ice cream.

Only the best parents use this ruse.....I've also heard of kids being told to put their coats on and being hung off the corner of doors by their hoods. *strokes beard*

A bit of all the above

My favoured method of child control is to play classical music.
