Anytime we would't do as we were told it resulted in consequences, for example: being "whipped", no technology privelodges, writing sentences repeatively, and being grounded. One occasion I remember crystal clear growing up was dad telling me and my brothers to clean our rooms, but we wanted to watch a movie.
