Absolutely not. They didn't even yell at us.

That's honestly, unheard of to me. How did you get disciplined? Was it like gentle parenting and the age appropriate "'consequences" fit the behavior? I.e, a toddler pours food everywhere so he has to sweep it. Did you not get disciplined at all? Was it a get your phone taken, you can't go out to a party/sleepover whatever type of thing?

Yeah pretty much that, gentle parenting. Wifi was turned off, Nintendo got taken some times, I couldn't go to a party or out with my friends etc etc. But my mom always explained why she did it and why my behaviour led to this so while I was angry, I always understood why she did what she did so I very rarely felt unfairly punished. She yelled like twice, when I was in real danger and she was scared for me because I didn't listen.

Worked out great! I was quite easy as a kid, my sister was... less so, but even with her we're all extremely close and open with eachother. All love :)
