[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Punishment for what?

Pay for their own bail, pay for the lawyer.[/quote]

Sibling arguments, chore refusal, refusing to do something for sibling or parent in a time of panic etc[/quote]
I can't imagine punishing an adult for arguing with their sibling.  And you don't assign chores to another adult.  If they are living at home, they are expected to pick up after themselves and do their share of household tasks, just as they would if they were living with roommates.  If they are unwilling to carry their weight, then (1) I'd stop doing chores and favors that benefit them and (2) we'd be setting a timeline for them to move out.

And I'd need more facts about "refusing to do something" in a "time of panic."  What was the emergency?  What did you want them to do?  Was it really necessary for them to do that?  Would doing that require them to, say, miss work?  Generally, I just don't do favors for people who don't reciprocate, so the natural consequences of refusing to help out in a pinch would be that they shouldn't expect me to help them out when they are in a jam, barring actual or imminent bodily injury or danger.[/quote]
