Ok, the worst thing about being a mom is teaching life lessons. And by teaching them, I mean making the mistake that they made the worst thing that they could have ever done. That way they will never do it again.
So at my sister in laws house on Sunday. Abbie and Kamryn decided that it would be fun to put a x on the ugly Jonas Brother and circle the other two with a tac. Problem? They did this to my nieces Jonas Brothers poster that she got at the concert earlier that week...for her birthday.
Punshment was calling Bre and telling her they were sorry, writing her a note saying why they were sorry, they are grounded for a week-no tv, and having to play in their room, and they have to do chores around the house to pay for a new poster for Bre. A little extreme for a poster? Maybe, but I have been trying to teach them about respect for another person's property. And well sisters just don't care about another sisters toy. So now I hope the point has gotten across!
It doesn't sound harsh to me. They have to learn their lessons in ways that they will understand
