Lock Down...=(

What a day.....Not! So Why do parents put their children on lock down during the summer over silly things. I now stuck with no computer and no cell phone communication. Yes hard to believe when I am here posting at blog huh. Well This is the unsmart thing of them all. My ma left the house with her computer screen still logged in and another thing if I couldn't log on to my screen I have to password to my sister. Man I am really not that stealthy as it seems. Thing is my ma also left my cell phone in the same spot she took it from me yesterday. I think this whole thing was a set up to see if I would do what she told me to do. If i would fall for her tricks. No wrong! This isn't a trick at all the really problem is that parents can't remember what punishment they give there children not one bit after they give to them. Other really life problems are blocking there concentration on taking care of disciplining their children. So that's zero points for the parents one point for the children. We didn't even have to play the game, just sit back and watch the plan fall apart. Why can't children be punish by other means not just getting items taken away. I think I would like a punish of something more like, "hey clean this all up" or "Wipe down the walls and floors". Then I wouldn't have time to talk on the phone or blog on the computer because I would be cleaning. But I would still have my form of communication with no doubt about it. Although who knows the best form of punishment for children or teens. What can a parent do to punish their children? Over the years have parents just given in and decide not to do anything?
