[quote=Anonymous]Hey people shaming and labeling is not helpful here to the OP, or her family.  In my house it is the lying that gets punished.  Telling the truth is essential, understanding that kids lie because it is easier sometimes.  You need to find out from your daughter, why did she do this, why did she lie about it, does she see how the lying as made everything worse in addressing this.  Also, what does your daughter think would be a reasonable recourse here to ensure in the future she is following family rules and not lying?  Does this discussion with her make sense? Is she being honest now?  Is the proposed ‘alternate’ punishment proportional to the original act. Then talk to your DH.  Let him know you were not happy with your DD actions, however you believe this silent treatment will ultimately push your daughter away.  Find out why he is being so harsh?  What is his greatest concern? Does that answer seem reasonable?  Say you want to have a  peaceful discussion and see if you can resolve the lack of his willingness to hear what the daughter has to say and see if you all can 1) agree with what should be a reasonable consequence, and 2) what would be the future consequence if this recurs.  Do think that OP you want some counseling for yourself so you can have the ability to get your needs met by understanding them and voicing them.  You are both parents and you both should decide together on consequences.[/quote]
