I always though the idea of Elf on a shelf was to have a bit of fun and bring a bit of magic to children before Christmas.
However a neighbour has just told me that, because the children had not been listening yesterday, the Elf has written a letter to the children telling them over and over how 'bad' they've been and that need to work harder otherwise they won't receive any Christmas presents (but that he has been naughty during the night and she has lots of stickers around the house with slogans like 'naughty elf at work')
Neighbour has also sat in-front of the children and eaten their advent calendar chocolates for this morning.
AIBU to think this is a bit sad?

To think it's a bit sad to use 'Elf on a shelf' as punishment?
