Her attitude isn't going to get any better, and she's going to start influencing some of the younger kids.

Amen. My momma was old school-- she'd say "if you don't stop whining, I'm going to give you something to really cry about." (Of course that was only if there really wasn't something wrong. She wasn't the devil.) I knew she wasn't playing-- that she'd whoop my little behind in a heartbeat.
