Laying Down the Law

In her Facebook group, Bridget also shared with other moms that she had stopped Marie from going on playdates with her friend, who also had a history of being abusive towards her sitter. In her mind, she believed that her friend was also partly to blame for Marie’s unacceptable behavior.

Bridget was furious with her daughter, and in her own words, she ‘let her have it.’ She took several things like fun activities and playdates away, ensuring that Marie didn’t do anything even remotely fun to teach her a lesson.
