View submission: Too harsh a punishment?
This is WAY too harsh. Using the wrong kind of "tool" as a stepping stool is a lazy mistake that any adult could make.
Honestly, it sounds like the stool was poorly made. Unless your 14 year old is truly enormous, a decent stool should be able to withstand the weight of a child if it is intended for a child.
I do think she should buy her sister another stool with her money, you can get a decent one at Ikea or Target for about $30, but the other punishments are way overstated.
You seem blessed with children that are absolute angels if this small mistakes causes you to go so hard with the punishment.
There's nothing here!
