So a week's worth of low level rudeness and general teenage grumpiness came to a head yesterday afternoon . .

Daughter was summoned into the living room by my wife (I'm too soft for formal discipline) for a "little talk". The upshot being that she is now confined to barracks for four days.

No immediate reaction from very stroppy teenager.

Then: "So, like, I'm not allowed to go out?"💡

"Ah" 🤔

"Oh b*****s!!!"

The last comment certainly did not help her cause 😅

She was quite sweet with me after that, perhaps out of shock at my wife's strictness. We read together for a bit and listened to some Taylor Swift in her bedroom, which is about as exciting as my Saturdays get these days 🎵

Not too bad this morning either, but as I will be stuck at home with her I am silently willing Thursday to come around quickly.

Are you still able to take her out? I guess she is not allowed out herself.
My parents would be mad if I said that I guess, but hopefully she will learn and get back out as it is the holidays.

@happygoluckygal Yep, we went swimming in the sea this morning. Last week was difficult and she just needs a bit of time out to reset. The weather for the next few days is quite rough anyway, so she probably won't miss a great deal.
@SunshineGirl That's good you got out and yes the weather has been up and down.
I done pickleball and volleyball in the holidays.

@happygoluckygal That's good, did the school put that on? Gymnastics and judo are on a break for the holidays, which is one reason why junior has been so grumpy 🥴
@SunshineGirl yes I did at school and up in Scotland with my cousin
