Good for you. Thank you for addressing curfews and calling, which I brought up earlier. Your mom is 100% right. It would have been so easy to call or text. But your sister was being rebellious and disrespectful. -- "too big for her britches."

I think you should tell your sister that you did what you could. But also explain to her how easily she could have avoided this! Her act of defiance certainly did not show how grown up and mature she is -- rather it made her plenty young enough for the childish punishment your mom meted out1

'Your mom is 100% right. It would have been so easy to call or text. But your sister was being rebellious and disrespectful. -- "too big for her britches."'

Yes, and this is the part that I find the hardest to understand. Why be rebellious and disrespectful when she has no chance of winning? When the parent is very strict and in control, and the child is going to lose the battle and her "britches?" And why as soon as Mom brings the hairbrush, the defiance is suddenly nowhere to be found, pride goes out the window, and nothing matters except begging to get out of the punishment she intentionally earned?

My experience is that in homes where these kinds of spankings are given, open defiance and disrespect is not intentional. It only happens in rare instances where emotions get out of control. Rebellion does happen, but it takes the form of deceit and attempts to get away with things and not get caught. The sister was just a simple text message away from preserving both her pride and her hide.
