PARENTAL PUNISHMENT

From HuffPost Parents Facebook community, here are some of the crazy things parents will do to to kids as punishment:
– “I took all the cords for electronics away, worst I’ve done. The things they would do for chargers and HDMI cords!”
– “I saw that my son left his bike unlocked at school. To teach him a lesson, I rode it home. I thought he’d come home humbled. Instead he called the cops. An officer found me walking and said, ‘We have you on camera taking a bike.’”
– “My parents punished me by taking away my iPhone & giving me a Nokia for a month.”
– “I was misbehaving as a child on Christmas Eve, my Italian grandma punished me by feeding me Chef Boyardee.”
– “My dad one time came home and was mad that everyone was watching TV and no one even acknowledged him — so he walked over to the TV and cut the cord.”
– “My dad got tired of my sister slamming doors so he took the door off the hinges and burned it in the front yard. Years later, he admitted he only made a spectacle about burning it since he already planned on buying upgraded doors for the house.”
– “When I was 7, I wanted to go as Mario for Halloween. I ended up getting in trouble in school, and my Mom punished me by getting me a Luigi costume.”
– “I had a coworker who was having trouble with her teenage son. She took all his favorite things and plastic wrapped them to the dining room table — where he could see them every time he walked through to his bedroom. She said it worked — he gradually earned it all back.”
– “My mom taught me a lesson when I was a kid about opening the door for people I don’t know. One time a Jehovah witness came knocking & I opened the door & went and got my mom. A week later the Jehovah’s Witness lady came back & my mom let her in the house & made me talk with her at our kitchen table.”
