I have accepted this as a mistake and forgiven her. I think I went about this all wrong and we had a good talk about communicating and how to ask for help. Thanks everyone.C.J.

Usually as an easy way out. Learning there are consequences is part of growing up and maturing. Excuses and blaming others is not excusable. Being honest will get them a lot further than lying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351343357192157198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-12490803876718599642017-10-27T10:35:47.161-04:002017-10-27T10:35:47.161-04:00It is a hard one.

But my parents had (have?) challenges with my brother (he will always have these challenges).<br /><br />They decided years ago to not treat him any differently than my sister and I. He had the same punishments as the rest of us. My parents thinking was: he will need to interact with society as an adult. And now, with medication, he is a full member of society.<br /><br />That being said: I lied to my parents about something huge. And they cancelled a birthday party. And by they cancelled: I had to call everyone and disinvite them.<br /><br />I survived. And I learnt the lesson.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230203164105678177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-44705142436527562792017-10-27T10:13:27.111-04:002017-10-27T10:13:27.111-04:00If you don't punish her, how will she learn to...If you don't punish her, how will she learn to correct bad behaviour or strive to do better? Or not lie? <br />My 2 cents<br /><br />But yeah, being told you can't go out for halloween is pretty soul crusher but you can't reneg now, or you give her a choice? What else can you deny that would have a similar impact. Say, ok, Halloween, or? Let her choose the punishment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-4437491659159058792017-10-27T09:48:47.991-04:002017-10-27T09:48:47.991-04:00OMG, what a dilemma.

I just wanted to reach out and offer a virtual hug in support.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
