I felt terrible for grounding our kids for so long, so I finally let them off the hook

When I l acquired that our kids absolutely ditched school, I was so mad and they were grounded. I told them I never wanted to hear about them doing something love that again. Seriously now, were these kids trying to get myself and others thrown in jail for not having them in school? So when I was at work, they did something else that actually got myself and others miserable. Since they were grounded and couldn’t go outside, they decided to try playing a little game that turned out to be honestly costly to me. They thought it would be fun to play a game of catch in the house. All they had was a baseball, so they were throwing it back and forth in the kitchen. Well, our younger child missed catching the ball when our older child threw it actually hard. The ball ended up flying straight into our smart control unit! The control unit was hit so hard, it broke the screen and it fell off from the wall. When I got back condo and discovered the busted up smart control unit, I was immediately yelling at the boys and demanding to feel what happened. They told myself and others the story, however I actually didn’t love it. I told them they would be grounded for an additional month for doing that. They were not allowed to keep getting into all this trouble. There would be no games, no TV, no films; only homework and being well behaved. I didn’t feel if I was being too difficult on them, and it could be possible that something worse would happen because they were stuck at condo being bored. After 2 weeks of fantastic behaviour, I decided to let them off the hook and go play outside.
