Punishments

My daughter and her friend got in trouble for something they did. Anyway, I punish my daughter, no phone, no computer...Daughter understands what she did is wrong and is trying her hardest to make it up to me..I tell the friends mom and the other girl does not get in trouble. My daughter is now more upset with me because she is still punished and I guess she feels like she should not be since her friend did not get in trouble.

That happens quite often in life. :yay: I just tell my kids, tough, you've got better parents than they do.

I told her that she was my child and I did what I felt was right in my punishment, what is killing her is I wont tell her when I will give her the cell phone or the computer back.

I don't know how old your babies are but it always cracks me up how parents today think calling other parents means anything.

It ain't 1979 anymore and it sucks, sugar.

If the other parent does not care I personally would not let me daughter go there anymore. It is hard doing the right thing and it always like you are odd man out, but it will be worth it in the end. I find what is hard is that most of her friends just put on restriction during the week and let off on the weekends. She has learned to accept that restriction is restriction and she does not get weekends off. The hard part as my parents always told me is when the kid is on restriction the parent is too and that is why alot of her friends parents let the kids off on the weekends.

can't really comment unless I know what it is they did, how old they are, if your child's friend has two daddy's.. etc.. etc..

I mean if they knocked over a liquor store, then we have a problem.. if they threw a recyclable soda bottle in the regular trash, no biggy..

Really the details don't matter, if there are rules at her home the child should know the same rules go at someone else's home. Sounds like she knows she did wrong, she just doesn't feel she should do the time if she's the only one getting it.

The only thing I don't agree with here is the open ended punishment, there should be a set ending. If the other parent wasn't on the same page with you my daughter wouldn't be going back. And I'd also make sure I told the other child how disappointed I was (in both the girls, don't single her out) the next time you see her.

The details ALWAYS matter.. You're asking for our opinion about sometting we actually know nothing about because you are withholding the details..

You may be punishing your daughter for something she did that was against your rules (which is your right) but may NOT be against the rules in the other childs house. Saying they are bad parents because they don't abide by your rules is kind of silly.. and forbidding your child from playing with their friends because a difference of opinion on the parents part seems kind of juvenile. Again, my answer and opinion may change if I knew what the kids did, but as of right now as far as I know, the kids ate a pork weiner and you're Jewish.. and the family in question is Catholic and could care less what kind of weiner they eat..
