    I mean, yeah? Is that really so bad. I guess it depends what the intent was. The town I grew up in was pretty tame, and the room I’d get locked in without food or water if I’d misbehaved had books

      I was locked outside of the house for long periods of time and had to drink from the garden hose / garden faucet, and pee in the bushes. We also had like 10+ apple trees. It wasn’t that bad. A bit boring sometimes.

      But that’s because it was outside and I could get my needs covered and meet friends.

      Locked inside without these needs covered for extended periods is a lot worse in my opinion. Even cats and dogs have those needs covered.

      It’s also about the lack of freedom when locked inside.

      I would not treat my own children like I was treated, and especially not like you were.
