Trying a new angle

As you are aware Sandy is in JROTC and wants to join the Air Force. You are also aware of some of the problems we have been having with Sandy. Today we had some rule breaking, snotty attitude, disrespect, ect. Mike & I have decided once and for all that we are sick and tired of all this "typical" 15 yr old behavior. So we are going to implement a military household. She will respond with "Yes sir/Ma'am-No sir/Ma'am". And we will call her by Cadet or Cadet Bacon. We are going to start implementing Non Judicial Punishment. Which basically means that she will be written up and treated as she would be if she was in the military. Since I am the Commander in Chief I get to decide what her punishment will be. At first it was 24 hrs without her computer as a night light, 5 push-ups, 5 sit-ups, 50 jumping jacks and running around the block once. She took this pretty well. Then I was reading a report that she has to do in ROTC. It has to be 8 minutes on any subject. I suggested that she write about wolves. She has been working on this since Saturday. She had three pages computer typed. As I read this I realized that most of what she had written was taken directly from the information she got off of an internet page we printed for her. I made the comment that I should make her do it over completely when I came across a sentence that went something like this. Pups will pounce on each other and old bones to practice their hunting skills and as people say practice makes perfect. Add that to a statement about wolves hanging out together after they have hunted just didn't work for me. When I made that comment she stomped off in a huff and it went down hill from there. Mike was talking to her like a DI (Drill Instructor) would and all she could do was stand at attention and laugh. That ticked him off more. She was not taking this seriously and we were very serious. So her punishment was doubled and she was told that she would get it added to if she kept up the stinky attitude. It will take a little time but she will come to realize that we are serious about making this a military household and anything she does that breaks the house rules will be dealt with in this manner.
