Halloween is around the corner

And no, I am not lurking behind the mall in the parking lot.  I live in a house just south of the mall lol.

All the easier to lurk from....

Yep, but I'll bet ya she'll remember this punishment more than if she just stayed home, or was grounded for a month (though I think she is going to be grounded for even longer)

I disagree.  If she did something to deserve to bring on this punishment, I don't feel sorry for her.  The hardest part for some parents is sticking to the punishment.  I hate seeing/hearing parents threatening to do something, and then backing down.

I feel bad about it, but she needs to learn that what she pulled was unacceptable.

Actually I wrote that before scrolling down to see how much she had misbehaved.

Try not to feel too badly about this.  It is a lesson better learned while she's still at home than on her own.

I teach part-time and I wish more parents would say NO to their kids and teach them to be responsible for their actions instead of bailing them out.  It's really annoying!

You're doing the right thing.
