I think I got grounded once for not doing homework or something. Other than that my mum used to hide the cables for the PS2 until she got home from work, she ended up hiding them so well she forgot where she put them one day. She bought replacements and never hid them again.
My parents weren't the "grounding" type anyway, they were more into corporal punishment, which worked like a charm. Apparently I was a dick for the first few years of my life and apparently I've been somewhat of an angel since then /smug
Also. Post number 777, that's lucky, right? Hopefully this means I'll win the cheap ebay auction on final fantasy ix tonight.
