SD11's Halloween Fun

CompletelyPuzzled's picture

SD11 was fuming last night. If you remember correctly, she called my DH an asshole on Friday. She came home Friday night, claiming to be sick. She was grabbing her side and crying. DH held off on her punishment b/c we weren't really sure if she was sick or not. It turns outs that she did have a touch of some stomach bug. By last night, she was feeling better. And, she was on a mission to go trick or treating with the other kids. DH and I did not buy her a costume and told her a week ago that she wasn't going b/c she was in trouble.

So last night she smarts off to DH and says that she is a prisoner in our household and he is being unfair. DH turns to her and says, "Yes SD, I am being unfair, if you remember correctly, I am an asshole." She is really mad and keeps asking to go with us. She claimed to be scared to stay here with her older cousin. DH finally decided that she could go. But, she wasn't going trick or treating. He has an old striped pair of PJs that look like a prisoner's uniform. He made her wear them and carry all the other kid's bags while we were walking.

Several times, we ran into her friends, who would ask if she could go walking with them. DH would always reply, "Sorry, SD11 is a prisoner. Visiting hours are over for the weekend."

Needless to say, she did not have a fun night. She tried to whine a few times, but DH shut her down. And today, she is going to be cleaning out the garage and doing yard work all day. Let's hope we make it through the day with no issues.

Oh my gosh, love that he made her a prisoner! That is awesome. And I love that she whined and thought she'd get her way but got that. Way to go DH!

I know I'm in the minority and I'll probably get flamed, but I think not letting a kid go trick or treating is cruel. Then again I was never a spanking/grounding/yelling parent. And the prison outfit is humiliating.

I know I'm NOT the minority and I probably won't get flamed, but I think calling your dad an ASSHOLE on his BIRTHDAY is cruel. Little shit deserves to be in way more trouble than no trick or treating if you ask me.

Great punishment. Very creative. These are the stories they remember when they have their own children. For me, it was coming home to no doors on my room and my sister. My dad was done with slamming doors. We lived that way for a month. It was awful and I never slammed another door.

These punishments work...Good job!
