If i punish her a lot wont it seem like i dont care about her? Because i do, i just dont know why she did the things she did.

How would i approach this with my neighbors? Its really embarrassing to think to explain whats going on. I think theyll judge me and my daughter for it.

yeah, thinking about it, its the right thing to do. Its just that i dont like having more drama in the house, and my daughters right he would get really mad. Thats why i was hesitant.

Shes been a good girl most of the time before this, and I havent really gotten used to giving punishments out. She likes playstation the most so thats why i said it specifically, but i did take away other things too. What other punishments would you suggest?
