Punishments

[bubble_gum_yum]

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.

I agree with the statement about the "open ended punishment". When punishing someone there should be an understanding of what the punishment is for and the term of said punishment.
I know this sounds like an extreme example but .... I wouldnt want to be thrown in jail and the judge simply say, "We'll let you out whenever we feel like it".
As far as daughter being mad about friend not getting punished - Oh Well! Such is life!! Your house, Your Kid, Your Rules

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..

You said weiner! Twice!

And I'm catholic and I care who's weiner my daughter eats.
