Rather than scolding her on the spot, he told her to keep watching and stayed with her until 7 a.m. When morning came, he instructed her to get ready for school as usual. However, he made it clear that if her teachers reported that she slept during class, she would face serious consequences at home.
In her post, which has attracted millions of views, she explained that her father was not one to discipline frequently. According to her, he only resorted to physical punishment about once a year, making his warnings more than enough to keep her in line.
The story sparked a wave of reactions online. Some users joked about how they would have prayed for a power outage to avoid staying up all night. Others praised her father’s strategy, describing it as firm but thoughtful parenting that taught responsibility without constant flogging.
The viral thread has since fueled conversations about different parenting styles and how creative discipline methods can leave lasting impressions long after childhood.
