Parents, do you think it to be rational to ground your teenager for sneaking out from every single activity they are involved in?
I understand grounding from seeing friends and using the phone and such but I know a parent who has grounded their 15 year old child from Marching band activities and I find it to be irrational. These activities include football games, competitions, and the school bonfire which I know that she gets a grade for. Regardless of it being an excused abensence and her being able to do makeup work for the missed activity. I find that grounding your teenager from an activity that they get a grade for is just irrational no matter what the offense is. I think it is ridiculous and I was wanting to know your thoughts on the subject. Do you find this to be fair or do you think that she got what she deserved?
