I had a cooking accident and the smoke detector started going off. I twisted it off and ripped the wires off the wall. I was wondering how to reconnect these wires if I still can.
Your 13 yr old should not be wearing makeup! Not only does it look bad on her, it looks bad on you that you're letting your daughter do that at 13. I think it's disgusting how teenagers look more and more like adults before their time, and having sex at 12 and 13. Their parents give them too much freedom! But to answer your question, no that punishment is not bad at all. It's fair for you to take away something they need when they get in trouble, it's the only way they will learn.
I would add a week for every it's not fair or but, I need them! that I hear!! I would never let a child that age where makeup! The culture is too sexual as it is. Maybe your kids have too much. We have a rule that the kids have to give up as much as they get. So everything that comes in equals what goes out. They must find a new place to take it to and tell why that place is the best place for it. We also help with other things like project back to school and project Santa Claus where they help kids who have nothing get the basics. Maybe that will help get things back into focus.
How did they get those things. Do they have an allowance or do you buy them for them. Instead of taking away the clothes and makeup every time they act up try starting an allowance. Not a free allowance but an allowance that is based on how respectful they are and how well they get their chores done. Next time they talk back or disobey cut back their allowance accordingly. Tell them if they want makeup or cool clothes they will have to buy them for themselves. Bad behavior equals no money and no clothes or makeup.
Hello'' your driver side door panel has to be taken off and then you see the ( electrict device ) that makes the lock go up and down'' ? It may need cleaning or replacement.
It is good to take away your kids privileges and/or possessions for punishment. I never thought to take away their cool clothes or makeup, that's a great idea. When my kids disobeyed, no phone or tv for the daywhen my daughter (15) snuck out and I caught her coming back in thru her bedroom window at 4 in the morning I grounded her to her room, but I took it a step further and made her put all her electronics outside her room, I thought what good is that, to sit in her room and watch tv, talk on the phone, listen to her stereo, play video games, etc., I made her keep her door open and no sleeping (she was so tired from being out all night) She was mad and yelled, What am I suppose to do? I told her, Read a book. When my kids were older and got their drivers license and cars, for punishment, I would take their car away for the weekend. The best punishment for kids is to take away what they love most. Yes, it's fair, you're doing a great job!
