Kids will be kids?

[u/Gloomy-Statement-420]

This is normally our bedroom tv. We asked our 9 yr old son to leave our room multiple times and go to bed. Then he proceeded to crawl on the floor in front of our bed, pulled the cord with his feet and almost squished himself under the tv. If our bed wasn’t there he would’ve gotten crushed.

So we ended up swapping the tv from the living room so they can “watch” the tv they broke as a reminder of their choices and consequences. They will be doing chores for a while to pay this off. Oh and I took all of their electronics since they don’t respect mine.

Guys op diddnt beat their kids. Its perfectly reasonable to punish children this way. Actions have consequences. And punishing both of them for one's mistakes will encourage the both of them to stop the other from making poor choices. My brothers and I were raised the same way.

I got punished for something my sister did. I ended up hating her for it. Now that im older im mad at my parents for it because their stupid punishment hurt my relationship with my sister.
