I agree with setting rules and having some sort of punishment in case these rules were broken or when children do bad things to each other like biting, but I think it is incredibly cruel sending a child to bed without supper (eating being one of a human being's basic needs) - there must be many other ways to punish children!!

i've had a shitey day today. DD1 bit DD2 on the foot (hard) because she "felt like it!!!!!" i couldn't believe it, she has been great with her up until now so i just don't understand it!
she got grounded, no TV, and bed straingt after tea with no story or supper!!! - i'm NOT one of those false threat moms - oh no not me!
