'After a week with no electronics, it finally happened': Father takes son's electronics, only to have the punishment backfire on him

It's your job as a parent to try to raise your kid right. You try to instill good values and push them to be kind, hardworking, and to follow the rules. But of course, kids definitely do not always follow rules, especially when they're young.

This person remembered a funny tale from when he was in elementary school. He did something to annoy his father, though neither of them can recall what the incident was anymore. So u/Zylly's father decided the best course of action was to take away all his son's electronics.

Lots of parents find this to be a good option for a punishment. It can be super dull — you'll find yourself reading books, even if you aren't a reader, or turning to arts and crafts, or maybe making up a dance. Getting your electronics taken away as a kid is so infuriating, but since you're little, you really can't do anything about it. When you're an adult, you might look back and be glad your parents chose that method of punishment — after all, boredom is good for creativity. But in the moment, you just really miss your devices, and can't wait to get them back.

Next up, peer into the hidden lives of everyday folks with their anonymous confessions.
