Season 5 Episode 121

In this episode, Vanessa and Rudy are constantly bickering. Cliff encourages Vanessa not to respond when Rudy provokes her, but it does not help. After getting into a wrestling match in the kitchen, they are sentenced to live in the basement together until they can get along. Only after Theo taunts them with scary stories do they move past their differences and are allowed to return to their bedrooms.

For the most part, my boys get along. I would say 75 percent of the time they play well together and co-exist in relative harmony. That other 25 percent can be a pain! Son #2 can really push Son #1’s buttons. We encourage Son #1 to “just walk away” but…good luck! Similarly, Son #1 has the annoying habit of getting into Son #2’s business. Sometimes I think I should follow Cliff’s lead and sentence them to the basement until they get along. To be honest, though, sometimes I think it would be better if I went to the basement myself.
