I’m sorry you had to go through that, @SacredNeigh7
Same here @Hanna_Foxx!
A lot of what happened to me as a kid when I was disciplined is not safe for work or anything else.
We just did time out when they were younger and now that they are pre teens/teenagers we take their electronics/video games/allowance. People might not agree but I don’t think you need to cause pain to get your message across.
Plus the amount of emotional and mental anguish a 14 year old child can inflict on the parents is truly astronomical. I think I be needing the therapy. I can’t wait until they have kids of their own some day. That will fix their boats.
My plan if i have a kid , the discipline will be gardening and mowing other peoples lawns for free and garbage duty around town.

The dictataaaa
Yep we do add chores sometimes. Lol. That really gets on my 13 year olds nerves. How. Dare. We. We are not rizzy.
My parents didn’t do allowance because we aren’t particularly well off. Though, that is changing, hopefully.
We did get allowance it ranged for like 1 dollar a week or 2 bucks. I think my youngest bro got 5 bucks a week
Yeah, I think it’s smart to prepare them with incentives; but at the same time, getting them acclimated to doing stuff for somebody else is smart, too
We are not well off. But we make it work. It’s based on age and how much they actually help around the house. Some of them don’t do online school so their chores are different. It’s a constant change of moving parts. We don’t make ours work 24/7 sometimes they are allowed to eat and go to the bathroom.
Shiiiiiii. When I was an adult I wound up giving my mom an allowance before she passed.
My dad’s solution to everything was just to chew my rear end out. My parents never touched me. They were too drunk to develop the coordination to actually strike their kids.
I still turned out okay. Only juvi court in my teens but otherwise I am straight as an arrow.
That’s nice of you.
Well, I used to get beat up until I called the cops on my dad for hurting my mom especially bad one night. That was when I was 13. We weren’t hit much after that. However, the mental, emotional and verbal abuse still continued.
Edit: my mom was abusive too.
It wasn’t the plan. Didn’t have other options.
