Was this fair of my dad to do?

I'm a 15 year old girl and I got caught on Saturday night sneaking in past curfew, which is 11. My dad threw a hissy fit and took away my iphone x and grounded me. I'm still grounded and I have asked for my iphone x back but he won';t give it to me until I have earned it, which means I have to do chores around the house. I told him i won't be doing any chores until I get my phone back. All he said was "well I guess you'll never get it back". What should I do about this? Is my dad overreacting?

Sounds like you should get off your *** and do some chores. You were out past curfew and your're being punished for it. Seems to be an appropriate punishment for the crime.

Chores. You should do chores.

Your being a snot. YOU were wrong and your still wrong. Your going to grow up to be a a******?

Do your chores gosh your lucky u even have an iphone x

Your dad is NOT OVERREACTING! And good for him. Do your chores and you'll get the phone back.

Sorry, I'm siding with your dad. He is just doing this to help protect you, whether you believe it or not. Just do the chores and get your phone back and then think twice about missing your curfew again. Remember this incident because it is probable if you get married and have children you will face this situation with your own kids. It sounds cruel now, but it won't when your 30 and sitting around worrying about your own child.

No but life's not fair

Nope. Your dad is parenting. And you deserve to be grounded and punished. This is not abusive punishment. You're still being fed, loved, cared for and you are being required to pitch in and be a member of your tribe. All very reasonable. You can get by without your phone for week. Or for the next three years unless you do your chores. No chores? Three years from now you can move out, get a job, support yourself and save up to buy another phone. You've laid out your choices so it seems you to get to make them. Your Dad has the rights, the power and the position but you could prove you're still a little girl and refuse to participate in the household until you're no longer welcome in it.

Sorry, but did you really expect that by saying you weren't going to do chores your dad was going to cave in and give your phone back? That's ridiculous. You broke the rules, got caught, and are being punished. I think his punishment is fair. At this point you can do the chores and earn your phone back, not do the chores and not get your phone back, or get a job, earn the money, and get a new phone and plan by yourself.

As a parent, I think he's right. Doing chores can't be that bad for that long. Learn the lesson.
