Time & Punishment
A Texas father, whose teen daughter violated curfew and threw an unauthorized party, decided to punish her by offering 30 hours of her services as a baby sitter for free to neighbourhood families. He said he wanted to teach her a lesson and help people out.
Kudos for the "help thy neighbour" approach to child discipline, but what parent is going to entrust their child to the enforced care of an unwilling teenager... who has a proven track record of irresponsible behaviour.
Isn't that like sentencing a car thief to volunteer as a valet parking attendant.
Fun with spell check. It doesn't think that "proven" is an acceptable adjective, but it thinks "pr oven" is a suitable replacement. I'm not sure what a public relations oven is. Is that when you bake cookies right before the real estate agent shows your house to buyers?
