    Who else thinks this is the craziest concept? If my kids were misbehaving and being punished, I wouldn't deny them dinner. They can eat, after they get their butts whupped or before they head up to their bedrooms for lockdown. I wouldn't ever not allow my kids to have food.

    Did your parents ever do this to you?

    I was going to bring this up. You always heard that one in the old movies and in some older TV, I think the one that comes to everybody's mind is Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz saying it. As a kid I never got what the big deal about that was as a punishment, because as a kid I did not eat my dinner most of the time, so for me that would've been more like a reward not to have to eat dinner. I have to agree though, I can't rightly see making the kids go hungry a fitting punishment, but then again how would you make sure they didn't raid the fridge after you went to bed?

    I have heard of that in entertainment but never experienced it. My mom was more into usind a belt on our legs and butt. I don't think it ever occured to her to deny me food.

    She grew up in the depression and often went hungry as a kid so I guess it really woulda hurt her worse than me.

    Never occurred to me to deny dinner anymore than it would have occurred to me to deny air.

    It might have happened to me but so long ago I don't remember. Never even tried that with our daughter.

    No that was never done to me and it never entered my head to punish the kids by withholding food. I can't imagine punishing a child that way.

    Nah, the kids always eat. If they act up too bad they just won't get a say in what's served.

    I wouldn't do that either. There have been times (though very, very few) he was acting picky and I said, "This or nothing," and it ended up as nothing. I only did that when I knew he had liked the meal in the past.

    My son suffers migraines so sending him up without dinner can bring on a headache. So, I want to avoid that.

    That's too 'old school' for my tastes. I would never deprive my kids food.

    I would not deny them food but their butts would be a little tanned after dinner.
