As a teenager, one of my kids got drunk. Next day, I got him up at 5 am, gave him a pair of sissors and told him to mow the grass. It took him 12 hours, in the heat. He never drank again.
My father used to make me mow the lawn in Florida in August, is that the same?
I don't think so--I am assuming you were not malnourished. I did lots of chores in my childhood home too, but I was never punished for sneaking some peanut butter and cookies.
