That's all fine and dandy until they misbehave and you can't follow through by sending them to school on the weekend.

This is just one of the many examples of why parents today have grown so soft and refuse to give any true punishment to their children. Back in ye good old days when I was a wee lad I went to school 12 hours straight no breaks or anything and if I didn't my dad broke a metal chair over my rear end. Then all the sudden the democrats took over and things suddenly got worse. Overall I think people should definitely toughen up and parent their kids more effectively if they want to defeat crooked B*den and make America great again.

Next you will tell us that the hill was up-school both ways.

We should just turn back time - to the good old days - and yeet the child.

This kid will start pushing this boundary in like 3 weeks (like every kid pushes every damn boundary all the time) and then OP will have a problem on their hands, when the kid decides that OP is toothless.

Sure, it's called Boarding School.

You could try to make up some other shit to cover for it, how school told them that the kid needs to do chores at home for those two days or something. With their system it'd make sense to have a plan for this situation.

Or you just enjoy it while it lasts and drop it when it fails

At some point the kid will talk to other kids and find out they don't attend school on weekends either. Unless they hate school that much that they don't socialize with other kids which would be worrying as well

Then it's time to gaslight the kid

"The other kids are lying to you"

This will help for a healthy development

I'd also tell the kid they're imagining it

The only way to get my nephew to eat greens was to tell him that the green mash was made with green potatoes (instead of broccoli, and peas). When he realized that there were no such thing as green potatoes, he moved on instantly because kids aren't fucking dwarfs carrying a book of grudges in which they record every single slight.

They're kids, they move on.

He'll be more annoyed about it later as an adult when grandma tells the story of the green potatoes for the 20th Christmas party in a row.

Or... you just don't manipulate your kid.

I totally could send them to school on the weekend.

Saturday is when the schools around here typically have detention. I'll just email the school and have the kid go to detention. Then on Sunday: Sunday school at a church.
