i have caught my 15 year old daughter smoking on several occasions, i told her that if i caught her again she would serve a severe punishment, i said she would serve 2 weekends of TOTAL lockdown, this means when she returns home from school on a friday evening, she will be escorted to her room and LOCKED IN no tv no phone and no pc JUST schoolbooks apart from a shower in the morning and bathroom breaks her bedroom door will remain LOCKED at ALL times, my daughter explained that she hates smoking and wants to give up, so the punishment is not needed, my daughter knows that i also want to give up smoking but am finding it VERY hard, my daughter then said if she is going to locked in her room as a punishment for smoking then surly i should set an example and if i got caught smoking then i should suffer the same fate, i said i am an adult but i would agree to her terms, yesterday my daughter caught me smoking in the garden and said it was only right i should now have to serve a full weekend locked up, i told my daughter to stop being so stupid, but my husband said if i had agreed to these terms then i should serve the punishment i had agreed to, how was my daughter to learn respect from her parents if they do not respect the rules, so do you think i should honour the agreement and spend a whole weekend locked in my bedroom ?

You put yourself in a difficult position. So in your case you smoke, and you are not a good example, but you cannot deal with the lockdown rule the same way as she has to. The best way would be you both drop cigarretes for mutual health and help each other resist the withdrawal addiction.
