I am not sure "trained" is the right word here.  Example: do you say your parents trained you or raised you?

But I concur.  I am a teacher, if mom and dad aren't around I have no problem telling the little bastards to cut the shit out.  I am a professional at that.  My wife loves going to amusement parks with me for that reason.

who is an insane grammar buff with credentials to back it up regularly reminds me that we "raise" cattle but we "rear"children.

I can't bring myself to say "rear" in that way, but hey.
