actually, i'm kind of relieved to know that there is another parent out there that does these kinds of things. my son is now 44 so it was way before cellphones that i had to discipline him. but, when he did get into problems i would do similar things. didn't have time to do the chores because of gaming? took the controllers/joysticks but left the console so he could stare at it. also took the knobs off the t.v. in his room. missed curfew while out scooter-poopin' with his friends? he got to keep his bike but i owned the front tire. absolute worst thing i did an later felt guilty about was when he didn't remember to some other house chores was to cancel the gardeners and make him weed/maintain garden area. had gardeners only bc i worked full time and he had pollen allergies. this happened only once bc when i saw how badly his congestion was i didn't have the heart to do it again so i had to come up with something else: wash and meticulously detail my car.
I DID THIS. Whenever my son lost privileges, I just waited until he left for school, and collected the power/charging cords. Oh, to be sure, I got called every last name in the book, plus some I think he just made up, but my point was made.
Voice over: It didn't work, as chargers are pretty universal and lying around everywhere.

As if they are not smart enough to have a spare cord. Many outlets have USB built in as well.
I lock the phones in my car if they take my charger because they cannot find their own.
They're smart enough to borrow a friend's charger. Always trying to stay one step ahead, but rarely succeeding.
Good luck having a medical/natural/other emergency right when their battery dies. Ugh. Punishment should not be endangering in any way.
Like minded person here except mine was the controllers for the playstation.
MONSTER!!! (I’m taking this cause I’m evil and in fact, NOT an Angel)
Oh, but they do. Think of aallllll that free time they'll have, that they could be doing 1001 little things around the house. Don't have any little things for the to do? LOAN THEM OUT to friends and family. Eventually, they will get it. Sometimes you may worry thsy it's too much, but my son has said that I was totally right. He hated me at the time, but he learned from it and turned out to be a pretty awesome young man.

‘No Context Idiots” joined Twitter in 2020. It didn’t take too long for them to reach an impressive number of followers and become one of the most popular pages that brings laughter and giggles to everyone that stops by. We sincerely hope these images will lift your spirits too!
Human behavior and decisions are often complex and depend on a variety of factors. Who knows why we sometimes get involved in questionable situations and do things we feel embarrassed about later on?
However, we believe that we've all had those moments where we begin to analyze our past irrational actions and wonder ‘what was I thinking?’ In moments like these, it may be better to think of any wrong decisions we have made in the past as important components contributing to our maturity. Since there’s nothing we can do to change our past actions, it’s better to learn from them to improve our present.

In case you were wondering, there are ways to better manage our irrational tendencies. To act in a way that won’t leave you embarrassed in the future, it is important to know how to control strong emotions. That can reduce impulsive actions and make you reflect on your behavior before making any decisions.
Awareness and self-reflection are necessary qualities to better understand yourself and your motivations. Critical thinking and the ability to reflect on one's actions can help discover the reasons why the irrational behavior occurred. By understanding these reasons, it is possible to look for alternative ways of acting in the future.
Let’s not forget that by discussing our decisions with loved ones or relying on trusted advice, we can gain new perspectives and insights. Also, by interacting with others, we can learn from their experiences and receive support to improve and manage our irrational and sometimes foolish tendencies.
As we can see from the images, we humans are not always rational decision-making beings. Reckless instincts, emotions, or even unconscious processes are often at work. Some psychologists believe that our choices can be automated, based on learned patterns of behavior. So, sometimes we act in almost mechanical ways, even if we appear absurd or plain silly.
I'll help you. You know what, I'll also bring the pitchforks (sorry, i'm out of burning torches at the moment)
I think I’m missing something, but then I don’t use Snapchat. Does it by definition have access to your location or something?
Guess the kids would need to wait until they're 20 to be given a car!
Gave one of my kids a used Altima on her 18th birthday. Later that night I am awakened by her standing at the foot of my bed saying she needs me to come outside and pay the tow truck driver.
