Ungrounded

Triplet Update wtf *.*

{how to get ungrounded}

1. Start off by changing your bad attitude around the house. You're probably angry at your parents for grounding you and you're probably upset about other stuff too. That's okay! Everyone gets upset and has stressful feelings. But if you want to show your parents that you're being responsible and are going to act like an adult, it means that you have to show them that you can handle being upset like an adult too.

• Don't act upset or mope around the house. Instead, make the most of your time while you're grounded and keep a positive attitude.
• Don't be passive-aggressive with your parents or rude to them. Even if your grounding wasn't fair, being mean to them because of it will not help get you un-grounded.

2. Be respectful and nice to your parents. When talking to your parents, use polite language like "please", "thank you", and "ma'am" or "sir" if your parents prefer those types of words. When you talk to your parents, use a voice that is calm, quiet, and friendly. When you can, do nice things for them, such as helping them get out the door in the morning or cleaning up their plate at dinner.

3. Do chores around the house to show that you're ready to grow up and take responsibility. Vacuum the house, clean the toilet, wash the windows, keep your room very tidy, do the dishes, and pick up after any younger siblings (or messy older siblings!) that you have. You can also ask your parents if there's a chore that they'd like help with. Cleaning out the garage, basement, or attic is also very helpful, since your parents often ignore this because it is very time consuming.

4. Help out your family members. Be very kind to your family members and help them out or generally do nice things for them. This can mean playing with younger siblings and helping them get ready in the morning (even helping them with their homework!), or it might mean making your grandmother a special dinner and bringing it to her house. You can also help your parents, by doing things like ironing their work shirts or making them a lunch.
Just make sure you ask your family members if it's okay to help them before you do anything!

5. Find other productive ways to use your time. When you're grounded, you often won't be allowed to do the fun stuff that you normally do. While you might want to sit around the house and be angry because you're bored, find better ways to spend your time if you want to make your parents see that you're ready to be ungrounded. For example, you could read a book. This is also very calming and lets you feel like you get to escape!

6. Ask your parents to finally talk. Once you've shown your parents how responsible you are, ask them if you all can sit down together and have a serious talk. Say something like:

"Mom, Dad, would it be okay if we had a meeting after dinner to talk about the way I acted? I'd like it if we can work together to find a solution and make things better." (im not even kidding! seriously say that, it'll help!)

7. Tell your parents why you did the bad thing you did. It's a good thing for them to understand your feelings and thoughts. They should see that you thought you were doing the right thing or that you were struggling with some tough feelings.

8. Never make excuses for what you did or make it seem like it was someone else's problem. Say that you know what you did was wrong and upset them, even if you don't really agree. Then, tell them why what you did was wrong. This will help them see that you've learned your lesson.

9. Apologize again, in a sincere, meaningful way. Ask them to forgive you and what they would like you to do in order to make things better. They'll see how mature you acted and that grounding you was helpful!

10. A safer option is to ask to be grounded for less time. If you were supposed to be grounded for a month, for example, and you've already done two weeks, ask to have the last week taken off.

11. If they agree on that, be happy! Not all parents would let their kids off!!
