Co-parenting with a 3 year old

Historically, if 3 year old Zoe is really misbehaving or not listening to us, we'll send her to the "bathroom" to think about things. We'll close both the doors for a couple minutes -- although we are usually waiting for her to apologise to someone, so if she doesn't, then she stays in for another couple of minutes.

Cole was playing with his hot wheels (tm). He had "vroomed" it on my coffee table to which I swiftly exclaimed "Cole... not on the table... only on the floor!".

Zoe then led Cole by the hand into the bathroom, closed both the doors and then went up to daddy to say "I just put Cole in the bathroom. He wasn't listening and was putting cars on the table. So he needs a couple minutes."

Thanks, Zoe, but I think we got the hang of this parenting thing.

Next, she'll be telling me which foods to feed him and which school he should go to. Actually, that would be helpful, it's a hard decision.
