Michael: You and Michael had gone on a small vacation for your wedding anniversary and left your 17 year old daughter in charge of keeping the house in order. Before you left, Michael set down some ground rules. He sat your daughter down in the kitchen and gave her a list of what she could and couldn’t do. “No boys sleeping over. No parties. You can have friends over but if you make a mess you have to clean it up.” Your daughter nodded in agreement “Yeah, dad. Whatever.”
Five days later
You and Michael pulled into the driveway of your house and your jaw dropped. There were cups and bottles all over the front yard and there was loud music playing. When you opened your front door you were greeted by a giant mess and several drunk teenagers in your kitchen. “I’m going to give you thirty seconds to get the hell out of my house!” Michael shouted with clenched fists. Your daughter’s friends quickly grabbed their things and left. Michael glared at your daughter. “I’m taking your phone and your laptop. Hand them over.” “But dad-” Michael whirled around. “I don’t want to hear it! You live in my house which means you follow my rules. Since you’ve broken those rules, you’re going to be punished. End of story.” Michael stormed out of the room, going to get your bags out of the car. “You’re going to clean up this mess right now. You should be glad I’m not calling those kids’ parents.” you said as you went out to help your husband and left your grumbling daughter to deal with the consequences of breaking the rules.
Luke: You and Luke had been called to your son’s school for a meeting with the principal. This was the third time this had happened. Your 15 year old son was brought in with a black eye and a split lip. You jumped up, making sure he was ok. “Mom I’m fine.” Luke calmly folded his hands but you could tell he was tense. “What happened?” he asked sternly. The principal sat down at his desk. “Your son was involved in another fight today.” Luke stood up, his chair scraping across the floor. “Again? y/s/n? What is going on with you these days?!” Your son clenched his fists. “This kid told me my dad’s band was gay and the only reason people like me is because I have a famous dad. So I hit him.” Your son smirked. “Y/s/n, You can’t just go around hitting people! If this happens again you could be suspended! ” Your son nodded, agreeing to serve an after school detention.
Calum: You and Calum were making dinner and waiting for your 16 year old daughter to return from shopping with her friends. She was late for dinner and you started to worry. Calum’s phone rang and he answered. He talked quietly until he started shouting. He hung up and grabbed his keys. “I have to go down to the mall. y/d/n was caught shoplifting and they need a parent present to give her a fine.” You grabbed your coat. “I’ll go with you.” When you reached the mall Your daughter was sitting at a table in the food court opposite a police officer. “Mr. and Mrs. Hood, I’m sorry to inconvenience you, but you’ll need to sign this form that explains that this situation will be put on your daughter’s criminal record.” You signed the paper and went with your daughter to return the stolen merchandise. In the car on the way home, Calum gave your daughter a whole speech about how it would be difficult to find a job now that she had a criminal record. He explained how stupid decisions like shoplifting can affect your future.
Ashton: You and Ashton had a 17 year old son. He had just gotten his driver’s license and was ready to buy a car. You had made a deal with him that you and Ashton would pay for the insurance but he had to earn the money for the car himself. Your son had a job so you didn’t worry about the money. One day, you were walking around the house and noticed that some small things had gone missing. Some of your jewelry and some of Ashton’s music equipment was also missing. two weeks later, your son came home with a car. Ashton wanted to go with your son to test drive the car and what he found in the car made him very angry. There were about 20 receipts from a pawn shop and all of your missing items were listed. Your son had pawned off the belongings to buy the car. ” You are going to go back to that pawn shop and buy every single one of these things back and apologize to your mother. I’m taking this car back and you’ve lost your curfew privileges.”
