What would YOU do in this situation - 14 y.o. daughter steals wifey's car latenight .....
Thats right, my little girl.
My daughter (not sure how many times but at least a few) basically went into the wifey's purse and stole money and the keys to the car, and then took my 12 y.o. daughter with her and drove to Dunkin Doughnuts - lol - Although it is kinda funny, this is very serious and the outcome could have been devistating.
So what would you do?
For now, the beginning punishment (we think) is going to be no T.V. or computer for at least a month, and no going anywhere special, as well as double chores.
Again I ask the TT people - WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
P.S. Thank god she doesnt know how to drive stick shift! (Or at least not that I know of)

Better keep track of your miles, Adam!
I think the punishment will make her think about what she did and she wont want to do it again. Maybe to make SURE of things... tell her you're keeping track of miles and if it happens again she wont be able to get her permit on her 16th b-day.
BTW, Monday is still looking good.

If nothing else works >>
Maybe threaten her with having to wait an extra year before she is allowed to get her license.
And it is kinda funny, but only because no one was hurt. Get the point across to her that what she did was very serious and could've resulted in a lot worse than being in trouble with just her parents!

my bro in Denver... daughter about the same age "borrowed"
Mom's new Jaguar, and had a single car, multiple roll over accident. The car was a total loss. She was traumatized but otherwise unhurt.
My personal feeling, you need to go way tougher on this. Deferal of driving priveledge, child gets a car when they've earned the money to buy one, etc...
Some kids don't survive their childhood, and this is behavior that radically increases the odds in the wrong direction. No corporal punishment, but make a strong example out of this. You could save another child's life, in addition to your own daughters'...

Severe beating. Seriously. There should be tears. I don't understand the current fetish with
"taking away" stuff that we never even had as kids.
How is this punishment?
Again, seriously. She risked her own life and that of her sister, not to mention any additional bystanders. There should be physical pain to stimulate the brain stem and reinforce the muscle memory.
These are not rational adults that understand cause and effect. You might as well "reason" with your dog.

Amen, brother. I like your style. My dad would have beat the shi7 outta me for that.
Not as in fist to face, but belt to *** repeatedly! Spanking has, unfortunately, become a lost art. And to think, people wonder why kids today have no respect... they aren't getting spanked anymore!
