Do you believe it's okay to punish your child for disrespectful

>>18236518
how old is your child?

what do you mean by disrespectful behaviour? give concrete examples pls

if it as anything to do with the relationship, i think that the it'll only make the bond between them stronger, so it's counterproductive then

There is nothing constructive that comes from a punishment like that, they learn nothing except you do not trust them or respect them enough to make their own decisions, even if they are bad ones, and they will ergo lose respect for you as their parent as well. If they are old enough to have a significant other then you cannot simply forbid them from contact. They will find a way to see each other and if not they will despise you.

I'm the concerned boyfriend in this case actually. My girlfriend's parents are notably over-domineering and extremely critical of everything she says and does. I've even seen them put blame on her for things she doesn't do. They will punish her for being "disrespectful" (actions that aren't actually aimed at disrespect, but that they perceive as disrespect, and that aren't deserving of punishment) by taking away all of her contact with the outside world and not letting us see or talk to each other for weeks at a time. I'm worried that it's putting a strain on things.

I'm the concerned boyfriend. I'm 19, and she's 17, nearly 18.

Relax Chris, age of consent is 16 in most places within America.

>>18236566
Age of consent in most places is lower than the age of majority. And even for people below that age, there are close-in-age laws.

There's nothing weird about a 19-year-old being with a 17-year-old.

I have the transcripts.

There's nothing you can really do about it as the boyfriend. It really also depends on the limiting of contact between other people and the amount of time this punishment lasts.

If it's a weekend? I think that's perfectly appropriate, although by 17, you should be moving away from "I'm taking away your toys" punishments, because you're months away from really not having any ability to do that anymore. If it's months on end, that's stupid.

But there's nothing you can do, since it's her parents, not you.

Trying to police your kid's sex lives is stupid. You already fucked up either by having them in the wrong place at the wrong time or not raising them to have proper judgement. You can't think of a better way to put a barrier between you and them.

You fucked up when she became a girl in the womb. Not because women are intrinsically bad. The circumstances resulting in her birth are bad. Your family was broken before it began. Lol
