What is with the grounding?
Parents send their children to their room or a place of confinement when they have done something wrong or said something wrong or have done anything wrong.
My parents do not do any of the sort.
They tell us to say sorry when we have done something wrong and they don't get mad and they don't yell.
I think that is because they know that if they ground you, it will only make you more rebellious and more eager to disobey you and do things wrong.
Well, I think you should let them learn from their mistakes and suffer or enjoy the consequences by themselves.
It is so much better that way.
Don't you think?
On the rare occasion in my family when we had a babysitter, I slapped my brother on the face and she sent me to a room that was dark and scary and had spiders and she told me to sit there and think about what I had done.
Well, all I did in that room was think about how much I really didn't like sitting there among all the spiders and dark corners and creepy stuff.
Then my mom came home and I told her what happened and we talked it out and I understood that what I did was wrong and that I needed to apologize to my brother.
It's so much better to talk things out with the ones that are really close to you and who understand your problem.
Well, that's just my opinion.
