Mother Grounds Her Kid for Six Months After They Break a Vase

Back when I was in my tween years, the one sentence that struck me with a deafening blow was, 'You're grounded'. Fair, I was grounded for 2 weeks, not 6 months, like this person, u/DwarfyMorphy. You would think that being a decent mom would not be too hard, but apparently, some people's brains work super differently, and no matter how hard we try, we will never be able to understand them.

The story below is a friendly reminder to everyone to be kind, and to parents, not to ground your kid for 6 months, as the emotional damage can be critical. The commenters are hitting the ballpark with this one, so I hope at the very least, that you will enjoy reading the uplifting replies from fellow Redditors. Scroll below to read about the crazy events that unfolded.

Then, check out this dad who was less than happy when his wife and kids showed up at the airport to surprise him after he came back from a 4 day holiday.
