She found the homeless man that Jessica berated. She made her apologize to him, and then she made her pay for him to get a room at a hotel for one night with her own money.
Additionally, she had Jessica sign up to spend some free time volunteering at a local food bank. Then, she “decided to take her up on her offer of sleeping outside.”
“I locked her bedroom door so she couldn’t go in, put a sign on it saying Closed for the holidays, pitched a tent in the garden and filled it with blankets and the sleeping bag I used when I was camping in Norway on a family holiday as a teen (aka really bloody thermal),” this mom explained.
She did sleep in a room very close to their garden, so that she could be close by in case things went badly outside for Jessica.
This mom did give Jessica the choice of sleeping outside or not being able to use her phone until after the holidays, and Jessica made her choice to sleep outside.
“In the morning, she was crying about how horrible it was to wake up on a cold mat and get disrupted sleep due to birds,” this mom said.
“After comforting her, I asked her would she like to do that every day like the homeless man. It struck a chord with her and she was crying over her actions, while even after the £20 she was rolling her eyes and her apology was not sincere.”
It really did impact Jessica’s behavior because not long after she slept outside, she found her in the kitchen making food to give to homeless people living close to their home.
She felt proud that Jessica got it now, but then her sister found out about how she had punished Jessica.
Her sister told her the punishment was way too much, and she’s wondering if she didn’t make a good choice at all.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
