The infinite grounding loop, RE: Generations
J. M. Pescado:
I've never actually encountered this "grounding" in the first place, perhaps because it's a thoroughly ridiculous concept and I have no idea who thought of it. Why would you even invent something so absurd as a punishment? Who exactly are you trying to punish?
morriganrant:
The punishment was inflicted upon the teen autonomously once he pissed off his parent enough after multiple pranks. It's one of those story telling bits, so I assume that is the reason you've never seen it.
As a concept in real life, I believe it's the same as the "time out" corner\mat\chair that is used on smaller spawn. That actually has a high rate of effectiveness when used with consistency.
jezzer:
I hear walloping the little bastards when they misbehave works too.

I don't really see the logic there. They're pissing you off so you...keep them in the house with you? Wouldn't it make more sense to kick them out into the yard instead? It is traditional that a distasteful or disruptive individual is punished by banishment or exile, rather than being kept INSIDE.
morriganrant:
Possibly it is supposed to be a taste of "this is what house arrest or jail time is like only without the prison yard beat downs, so shape the fuck up"? Hell if I know, I can't tolerate children for extended periods of time, though I do understand the importance of training them up to not engage in certain behaviors.
