I can assure you, you have not scarred your child for life by making her stay in her room and later apologize. I think you did a great job. It hurts to punish your children. I never understood the saying, "it hurts me more than you" until I had my own children.Earl - A Divorced Dadhttp://www.adivorceddad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-75362346004866867032014-06-12T15:23:16.819-06:002014-06-12T15:23:16.819-06:00Yeesh, been there.

She also lost two stars on her "I'm being a good girl" board. (We got the idea from your fruit stickers board).<br /><br />The 10 minute timeout seemed like an eternity to me. I likened myself to Hitler and I obsessed about it for the rest of the evening as she sobbed "I want my stars back!"<br /><br />She apologized to my wife and told her she would listen better.<br /><br />I love this blog! I hate that you had to discipline your daughter, but so did I.<br />They will both be better adults in the future, and maybe we will too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
