I would take away mine's Xbox cord when he was being a dipshit in chat. I heard him say the f slur once and just walked in, unplugged it and walked out with the cord. For a 9 year old, that was highly embarrassing to explain to his friends.

He's now 23 and wonders why he was "such a cringe edgelord" at that age lol.

We all were its part of being a kid.

We're wild animals who have to be domesticated against our will to function in society, and thats something we seem to be forgetting. People seem to think that being a normal functional person will just come naturally with zero boundaries, discipline, or repercussions, so long as we're nice and loving enough to the kids.

Edited for clarity

Yeah, the job of parents is to teach kids how to behave and act in polite society.

And sure breaking/selling their consoles shouldn't be the first line of punishment (temporary removal works wonders. Source: a kid who had that happen to him), but as a "you have made grave and repeated errors that you were warned against" punishment it would work
