What ridiculous things did you used to get punished for...?

Question

...when you were a child? if I was late home from somewhere I would be grounded one day for every minute I was late, not that they ever upheld the grounding for more than a day. What stupid things did your parents used to do?

Answer 1

I used to steal money from my step father,he would try and bear hug me-the pervert! 'cos he thought my "naughtiness" was down to lack of cuddles until the day I broke several bones in his hand with a steak mallet (I was 13)...now that I've grown up I realise I could have played it different...I could have milked the sucker for a much larger allowance...oooh I sound nasty so glad the therapy has worked x

Answer 2

i used to get grounded all the time i was always sent to my room if i said something. or didn't wash a plate properly. i got grounded on my 16 birthday and had to spend the hole day in my room on a lovely hot day just because i wouldnt bring the washing in and when i was younger i was the only girl with 3 brother i was the one that had to do every thing.

Answer 3

I got so shouted at for accidentally dropping the sugar tin, the sugar spilt out, but it was like WW3! I was around 9 years old.
My children are grown now, but whenever they dropped anything I always used to say, don't worry, it's an accident.

As a teen, if I came home late, wow what a tongue lashing, worse than anything!! I was never really that late either.

And the worse one of all, I was never happy to eat meat as a child (vegetarian now), so I used to slip most of mine to the cat under the table. Then one Christmas, my mum made roast duck (Ijust COULDN'T eat little ducky!!!), well that really WAS WW3! It caused a complete family breakdown...no kidding...it went on for years after that!

Answer 4

My friends and I poured ink into our english teacher's cup of coffee and when he found out (After the whole class laughed) he sent us to the principal. The principal phoned our parents and we were sent home where the parents were waiting for us. My mom told me I can't watch TV and she screamed a bit, but my friend's mom said she is not allowed to be friends with me anymore, because I am a bad influence.

Well, that didn't stop us from being friends (We have been friends for 12 years).

The first time her mom said that(we were like 7 years old or something), was when she stole sweets from a shop with another friend and her mom thought it was me and told her not to be friends with me, even though she tried to explain it wasn't me that stole the sweets with her.

This same friend's mom would ground her is she didn't go shopping with her mom (that was like their bonding thing)Luckily my mom isn't like that.

Some parents can really exaggerate.

Answer 5

we were at my Gran's once, we loved being there and hated it when it was time to go home. My brother was drinking tea and my Dad said 'hurry up, it's time to go' I piped up (as a joke) 'drink it slow so we can stay longer' I said it loud so everyone could hear and every body laughed. Anyway we went home and everything seemed normal. Next day when I got home from school I found my room was cleared of all my things, my stereo, TV, toys- everything I was only 12, there was just my bed and chest of drawers in there. I came out of my room and my dad said get to your room, I asked what was going on and he wouldn't answer me. Anyway I had to stay in my room for two weeks only coming out for school and the loo, I even had to eat my dinner in there. I eventually found out it was because of what I had said at my Gran's. I was devastated that my dad hated me so much it was totally uncalled for and have never forgiven him to this day, I think things like this was the reason me and my dad never got on for the rest of my childhood after that i had no respect for him. I am 24 years old and have my own kids now and I would never treat them the way my dad treated me, it was psychological torture.

Answer 6

I got grounded for a week for listening to a song with the 'F' word in while my little brother was in the room. I wouldn't have minded, but the song in question was Working Class Hero by John Lennon. Parents are odd...!

Answer 7

When i was a kid we had to ask for things like biscuits, sweet cause they were considered to be treats, one day my oldest brother STOLE a packet of biscuits and shared them amongst friends when mum found out she chased the 5 of us kids round the sofa with a hair brush wanting to know who the thief was ,she never caught us ,AH those were the days we still laugh about those days.

Answer 9

this is humorous to you in spite of the undeniable fact that the college change into likely wondering about perchance getting a lawsuit out of your mothers and fathers because men were touching you and cat calling you once you're on your bra. i have considered boys replace pants and be in only a t-blouse boxer shorts and that change into wonderful yet even as some females tried to regulate shirts and practice their bras they were given in hassle. this is unfair, in spite of the undeniable fact that this is all about the college attempting to be particular that no mothers and fathers are going to ***** and subsequently label the college as a nest for sexual harassment.

Answer 10

I wasn't allowed to say the word "stinks." If I said it too many times I would get hit with a yard stick.
