I've been really looking at the difference in parenting with my wife and I lately and its becoming more difficult for me. Just yesterday my bio son 8 and I were up, ready and ready to leave at 530 am when I noticed my nephew had not taken care of his clean cloths. Well guess who got woke up like he's in basic tranning and got an ass chewing for a half hour. I set a few standards and tasks for him to accomplish for the day. 

1. You will shower and brush your teeth.  You stink and I will not tolerate it.
