Funny you mention that @bobreedo.. My brother and I are polar opposites as well. I was one to 'budge' when my 'fun stuff' was at stake, but not my brother. My father would send him to his room and he would sit in there for hours, with nothing. My father would say 'you can come out' and he'd stay in there to prove his point. He did not mind at all. I was the one that went stir crazy after 15 minutes, which felt then to be measured in hours. Indeed, children have very differing personalities and it sure makes it hard to discipline - no one size fits all... I'm learning now with my two little ones who are vastly different as well.
