If I had done everything I said when I was 15, I'd moved out/ran away at least 20 times by now 8P That being said, I do wish my mother had shown more backbone at times. Kids are gonna gripe and sometimes they take it too far and need to be punished. Punishment = Yes......Laptop shooting =...maybe not the best idea...though probably strangely satisfying and entertaining for a frustrated parent. They'll probably end up buying her a new one anyway if she changes her attitude. Most of my "rest of your life" punishments ended after about a week because I learned from them quickly.
