Nope, it’s because they used “I will steal your stuff, violate your trust, manipulate you, and lie to you” to try to “teach a lesson”.
You don’t own anything as a kid. Pay your own phone bill and you can call it yours
Any excuses for the other 3 things in that list?
Three things? He told her to do the dishes then took her phone when she didn’t. That’s exactly one thing.
I listed 4 things. “I will steal your stuff, violate your trust, manipulate you, and lie to you”. You only addressed “steal your stuff”. I’m waiting to see how you to excuse the other 3.
I mean, if that’s how you view it, that’s. you problem. You having the privilege of a phone as a condition of doing your chores isn’t “taking your stuff” or “violating your trust”.
The chores are a condition of the privilege. You not keeping up your end is violating the agreement. Not the other way around.
You sound spoiled.
So you got nothing other than gaslighting?
That’s not fucking gaslighting lmao. Maybe learn to google before you start using words you learned online
“Nothing was stolen from you.
Your trust wasn’t violated.
No one lied to you”.
Textbook gaslighting.
When a parent gives their child trust, privacy, help, or even a phone, it is an expression of their love, and for it to be healthy it can’t be transactional.
A child’s clothes are THEIR clothes. A parent guides, helps, and is in charge of it, but it BELONGS to the child. Same goes for ALL their posessions.
