    So you saying parents should take things away as punishment, but then you go nuts when a parent/grandparent takes the kid’s phone away as punishment? JFC at least be consistent

      Taking away things is fine. But consequences should be communicated and expected. Just hiding something to teach them a lesson tends to be ineffective. People are often outraged when parents do such a thing. Well. In particular if those things are a medical necessity such as a inhaler or a even a phone if you have medical devices that use it as an interface.

        This is an absolutely ridiculous assumption to make given how little information we’re given.

        You desperately need to go touch grass right now
