When my parents sent me to my room I would usually climb out the window so Id have to say I had fun...that is until I got ready to come back in.
-
If my parents were mad at me, then I was miserable. It didn't matter what the punishment was... going to my room, being "grounded", sitting in the corner, etc. I couldn't care less about what my punishment entailed, only that I had let them down. So, for as long as my parents were upset (or disappointed) with me, I was sad. I hate letting them down.
-
My dad used to all the time. I slept, basically. At the time it was slightly dull, but now I appreciate that it was actually bliss
-
I was never sent. My penance was usually mucking out the horse stalls. Got me out of sight, out of mind and punished at the same time as doing something useful. My Dad was the practical sort :)
-
I spent a LOT of time being grounded in my room. I usually made stuff, spent a lot of time drawing, reading, writing, and sleeping.
-
I preferred to be in my room when I was in the house. I read normally. I did not spend an awful lot of time at home. I was quite happy to be alone reading.
-
When I used to get sent to my room, I was miserable. Only because I sobbed and cried about being in trouble then entire time. I probably could have just watched television, but I chose to make things worse. =P
-
Whenever my parents send me to my room, which is hardly ever anymore, all I do is use my computer. I usually send myself to my room so I can cool down and ust get away from everything and not lash out on anyone and say anything I don't mean. I think getting sent to my room as a youngin tought me that.
-
I never had to be sent to my room, as I stayed in there most times anyway. I didn't feel welcome in the rest of the house.
-
i never used to get sent to my room because if i wasnt out with my friends i was always in my room anyway playing my music etc. it wouldnt have been a punishment anyway being sent to my room cause i had a telly etc in there. if they locked the door it would be another matter lol
-
I had a walk in closet, not huge but not super small either. I would go in there and pretend like it was my apartment and that I was grown up and had to do all the grown up things like take care of the kids and do the dishes and shop for clothes and groceries. Man, do I wish my world was still just pretend!
-
When my brother, sister, and I would get sent to our room, we'd have the most fun. We each had our own cat, so they provided ALOT of entertainment. We'd get our deck of cards and set them up (sort of like Dominoes) around the WHOLE room, call our parents and give them a little show. They always loved it and would take us off of punishment at the realization that their kids were geniuses. Eventually, they caught onto us, and took the deck of cards away. THAT'S when being sent to our room made us miserable, lol.
-
I didn't often get sent to my room. It was the worst punishment - no TV, no music, no videogames, but my sister used to push sneaky biscuits under the door, which helped.
-
I loved being alone in my room, so my parents rarely sent me there as a punishment.
-
I drew huge floor to ceiling murals of dragons and Led Zepplin album covers on my walls.It was not as much fun as being with my friends but it wasn't too bad.
-
I was brought up in an era when parents just gave you a whack around the ear for any misdemeanor. However, I wouldn't have minded being sent to my room as I quite like my own company!
-
When I was growing up in the late '50s and 60s, we didnt have computers and TVs in the bedrooms, no phones, not even a record player in our bedrooms, so if we got sent to our rooms, we could study, read a book, sleep, or clean our rooms. And in my family if we got sent to our room, we didnt get to come out till the next morning for anything except using the rest room. No supper, nothing, so to me I would rather have just gotten a spanking and been done with it. Definately was not fun.
-
I read books and I was fine with that.
-
I Watch TV. My mom doesn't seem to give a $hit about me anymore...she's never home.
-
I never got sent to my room, mum would always get up me and lecture me. If I was sent to my room, I guess I would be on Answerbag! hehe
-
As long aas I wasn't around my parents I was happy.
-
When I used to get sent to my room. I would either draw, write poetry, or paint so it wasn't bad. I liked being alone anyways. I suggest doing your hobbies or writing in a journal when you get sent to your room. Something to pass time and something you like doing.
-
I would say miserable, ask the millions of holes in my walls from me punching it. Then i would just punch out my screen from my window and dissapear. I would be at school the next day extrememly pissed off.
-
that is my parent's favorite form of punishment. they tell me to go to my room and think about what i have done. i never actually think about it. normally i just go on AB or read or check email. you get the gist.
-
It was always really bad for me. I actually got sent to my room last when I was 13. I had told three other girls that the "suck donkey balls", which sounds pretty innocent by todays standards. But it was a Catholic School, and they really threw the book at me. My parents were so mad that I might get expelled that they sent me to my room. I think that was the last time I really cried too. I felt stupid....
-
i <3 being sent to my room much better then being smacked, so when my parents got mad i ran to my room and locked the door most of the time i spent in my room i either cryed (because i hated being in trouble), read Margret Peterson Haddix books or Well, slept.
-
I can't ever really remember being sent to my room as a child, and as a teenager I sometimes take myself off to my room, either to avoid and argument, or becasue i've stomped off after one! I was shut in the porch once when i was about 3 because i was screaming and crying in the middle of the night. - I taught my dad a lesson by peeling off the freshly laid wallpaper (it's still got rips in it) That ws probably due to bordem rather than a malicious act though.
-
I was sent to my room. I was miserable mainly because I didn't like being in trouble.
-
I was ok with being sent to my room. It meant that I no longer had to face the disappointing looks on my parent's faces for a while.
-
Well, i have my piano, my cell, my laptop, and my TV..and im in my room by choice all other times, so i guess it doesnt matter! hahaha
-
I would read books, listen to my little record player, or play with toys...as long as I could read, I didn't care much at all..lmao When my Mom figured THAT OUT..however, she sometimes added..."NO READING, NO MUSIC, NO TOYS...just sit and think about what you did!" Those times rather sucked rocks!
-
i nomally just go on my computer and go on IM to talk to my friends. So i stay occupied. So i can say that i have fun! lol
-
When I was little and got sent to my room I would cry at the top of my lungs and beat on the door so they would let me out. Can you say TEMPER TANTRUM???? That was me.
-
Hmm...I don't even remember when was the last time they sent me to my room...Well, all i can remember it wasn't fun bcoz i was regreting what i have done; but i did not cry bcoz crying doesn't make things better.
-
i never got sent to my room.. when my parents would get mad at me I would go to my room and slam the door closed.. usually being pissed at everyone but then i would get over it and play with my parrot that lives in my room or on my laptop , camra etc ( i have alot of electronics) my parents never made me go to my room and thats why i chose to myslef lol
-
it's not that bad
-
I have a TV in my room, many electronics, radios and many many other things so i just watch TV, play game listen to music all at the same time.
-
I would surprise them by re-entering the house from the front door.
-
Oh I have been sent to my room when I was little a ton of times. I just sat in there and cried... sometimes depending on what the situation was I would throw things around make a mess... and then probably go to sleep or play.
-
it wasnt all that bad (my parents seldom sent me to my room) i sat there and i gave me privacy in which a house hold with a couple younger siblings was a Prize. I got to think (out loud sometimes) w/o being bothered by Waaaaa!(lol)
-
My parents found out real quick that my room was no punishment. I loved to read and my whole room was fullof books. I didn't mind being by myself, either. It was fine with me.
-
I was made to sit in the corner facing the wall..no fun in that.
-
I preferred the room because it was away from the screaming, so I would read or sing or amuse myself quite well. Mum used to try making me stay at the table until I finished my vegetables, but I could sit there for hours, making up stories in my head...infuriated her.
-
It was okay, I used to open the window put a rope out the window and then hide in the wardrobe. Freaked then out every time.
-
haha. i was only sent to my room when i was very little. i would slam the door, start screaming, and throw everything on my shelves on the floor. very young, like 4 or 5. but my parents learned this wasn't the right strategy and never made me go to my room as punishment again. today, it has no purpose. most kids have TVs, computers, game systems. unless of course the parent goes in and takes them out or disconnects them, which happened to my friend.
-
I usually would get mad and throw stuff... or yell but ... Now that I am older I dont get sent to my room!
-
the last time i acted like a idiot turned on my radio and screamed out the lyrics almost fell to the ground laughing when they yelled at me for that
-
when i was sent to my room i would usually just draw or watch TV. if im extremely bord I would clean my room
-
I was never sent to my room. I was only grounded or given a good lashing.
-

-
I read books and listened to music. It really wasn't bad in my room.
-
I hook up the super old N64 under my bed and play it really quietly. it was really fun. =P
-
Only my grandmother did that (when i lived with her) and it was not fun at all because it meant that i was about to receive a spanking. what did i do while waiting? I was pre-ordered by her to be in a spanking position before she arrived which meant i was to be faced down with a pillow underneath my hips with my pants and shorts already pulled down. I basically mooned the ceiling!
