I would at least make her start out doing this (you did make the threat), making her think it will be for the whole night. Cepending on how she acts, you could let her ToT after a bit.
Ok...here would be the situation.
- We tell her she has to stay home and help.
- Whining...
- Explain to her again, WHY she is staying home...
- More whining...maybe some tears.
- Explain to her that crimes have punishment.
- Tears....definite tears.
- Tell her to have a seat and grab some candy and get ready.
- Whining. Whimpering. Kicking. A fit is growing....sirens are going offf all over the county; people are heading for their basements.
- She gets up and tries to go inside...(we sit in the driveway - dogs in house) We get upset and tell her to come back.
- LOUD VOICES!
- Dogs run for cover.
- Doors slammed, whining gets to the point of eardrum damage.
- Dad threatens some more...costume is about to become history.
- More crying and screaming from DD
- Dad is about to reenact scenes from ANY horror movie for the passersby.
- Dad goes inside and the night is over for him....Mom's turn.
Your theory works well if she were to accept the plan...and her punishment in the first place. Chernobyl got nothing on this kid.
