So here’s a hypothetical situation for all of you out there. Let’s say that, hypothetically speaking, you have an older sibling. While this older sibling of yours did not raise you, they have looked out for you for most of your life. This older sibling also eventually became your legal guardian for two years. And then you fuck up in a sort of big way, but you’re now a legal adult. In this totally hypothetical situation, would you say it’s messed up if this older sibling of yours grounds you? Like, I mean, come on! You’re a legal adult now! You’re too old to be grounded! Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Well. I think the first question to ask, hypothetically speaking of course, just what sort of a mistake was made?

One is usually grounded for a reason, after all.

Hypothetically, the younger sibling almost flunked out of college.

Ah. Well, then. That is a rather serious mistake to make.

The older sibling has a lot of concerns in such a situation, of course. I can see where they would make such a judgement call. After all, if they have been responsible for the younger thus far, of course they want for them to succeed now that they are at university. It's hard to see someone you care about failing and not want to do something about it.

And though you might not think that grounding is the answer, perhaps they are trying to reinforce the gravity of the situation, lest things get beyond repair.
