another tip for when you punish/ground her, w/e you wanna call it. don't let that turn into another fight. be very calm, take whatever priviledges you decide appropriate away and tell her in a very calm voice what she's losing and for how long and remind her why and what she can do to earn them back. then walk away. don't engage with her (i'm sure she'll argue and say again that she hates you and you're too hard, blah blah blah. ignore it.)

So what? Her job is to do as she is told, or there is hell to pay. Who cares what she hates, and doesn't want to hear. I never did.
