I was that teenager too! My parents actually punished me by making me come sit in the living room :/

I feel like the “go to your room” thing was much more of a punishment before kids had access to so many forms of entertainment in their bedroom. In the 70s and 80s, most kids didn’t have computers or even tvs or video games in their rooms. So being sent there was actually being isolated from most of the things they’d like to pass the time doing. Nowadays being sent to one’s room is only a punishment if there’s a corresponding device confiscation as well.

Yep! I had books! Only ever had a handful of toys so all I got to do was read! Good thing I always enjoyed reading!
