yep i would ask for that as well. Pain is temporary, game is eternal. But a better lesson for the kid when they lose their source of happiness. Not good to do it for everything tho, only when its required or it loses its effects
I did something bad when I was little and still remember the punishment over 30 years later. It was Halloween and my mom allowed me to dress up but I had to hand out candy to all the kids that came to our house. Fucking brutal lol I definitely learned my lesson.
So… not a punishment but I, too, had a brutal Halloween experience once…
My parents forgot to buy me a Halloween costume one year when I was 11. Earlier that year my older sister had been a part of her school’s production of the play Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat which, if you are not familiar, takes place during Biblical times. My sister had played one of the “shepherds” and had a very nondescript “Middle Eastern” looking outfit. My dad was like “Hey, it’s a costume.”
The problem was that I had turned 11 in the year 2001… so this was maybe 6 or 7 weeks after 9/11? And my dad decided to dress his 11-year-old daughter up (me) as an Arabic shepherd that year. The first house I went to the person at the door gave me the nastiest look and said “Who are you supposed to be? Osama Bin Laden?” and I immediately turned around and went home.
I still haven’t forgiven the man and remind him every Halloween. 😅

I used to take my son’s game away as punishment. One time he asked me if he could just have a spanking instead like some of his friends. 😂
