(10-19-2014, 02:48 PM)F.U. Dont ask again Wrote: All of the above were used. However, our family counselor said I did use one method that she had never heard of and it actually worked.
That method was to make them play a video game. What ?!???! you say, they were disciplined by being forced to play games. Odd as it sounds they hated it. At first they sat there with a smile on there face and welcomed the punishment, but soon they tired of the game and wanted to put it down but could not. What I did was buy the hardest game there was at the time [Driver] and their grounding lasted as long as it took to beat the entire game. They could do nothing else, just play the game, when not at school or doing homework etc. It didn't take long for them to get tired of that game and after taking days to beat it they never played it again. In fact that even slowed their video game playing down in general.
Sounds silly , but it did work. Plus I got a gold star on the chalk board from our counselor for thinking outside the box. hahaha.
Nice!!!
Punishment? I wish I could, but ..... how?!
But I got this plan. Once she turns like 17 or 18 and ends up as a drug addicted hooker standing under the street light and working the corner next to our mansion, I shall go and punch her right on the nose for all the things she did as a kid!
At least I won't feel too bad then.
