I had to laugh at this story.
I dont have kids but know a lot of you in here do,so this might be more up your street

Cat Barnard sits in her driveway in Enterprise, Fla. Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2004, near the tent where and she and her husband, Harlan slept. The Barnards moved out of the house and set up the tent in the driveway to go on strike because their children, Benjamin, 17, and Kit, 12, refused to do household chores. The parents won't cook, clean or drive their children until they shape up.(Photo-Peter Cosgrove)

I think its a great idea, mind you I can't complain my lads are pretty good, they help with the housework, hoovering and dusting and this week because it was half-term they cleaned the whole house from top to bottom. The incentive is that their pocket money comes with a list of chores each month, the list is short but they will usually do extra, because they are used to helping out.[msnsmile]

Looking at the size of the tent, surely it would have been more comfortable in the car ( unless the kids wont give them the keys)

I wonder what would happen if some UK parents tried something like this to try and get even with their rebellious teenagers. Mind you, the British weather is not too conducive to living out in a tent, but it is one way of imagining that you're in Florida!
