There is nothing wrong with beating your kids every once in a while. She was clearly being a nuisance.
OP, tell your dad to man up. Next time she gets out of line, tell him to forcefully knock her to the ground, perform the Boston-crab manoeuvre while your mother punches her in the face until submission. Depending on the severity of her sin(s), she may just continue even after submission.

so are you sayiing that if the parents are poor and can't afford luxuries to give to their children then their children owe them nothing? because thats not true
or do you have a different definition of luxury to me?

My upbringing was characterised by poverty from the very outset, but my mother never had to resort to violence to instil me with the appropriate sense of obligation: when you value someone's affection and approbation to the extent of taking it for granted, finding yourself suddenly spurned by that person is an incredibly potent deterrent to future misdemeanours - indeed, for her to hit me as a matter of course would have been to imply that she lacked anything of 'value' to take away bar the arbitrary imposition of physical pain, and tantamount to an admission of her having failed as a parent.
second point, she new what she was doing was wrong/ not allowed and new the consequences if she did it again... take some responsibility
Threats do not legitimise the violence they entail.

no bcos they're stopping her from doing anything she enjoys; running in this case.
also your sister sounds like a bitch & your dad sounds abit weird for hitting her, although i would too.

Stopping them from doing something they enjoy is pretty much the point of grounding someone.
why have I to hush?
Btw - I don't think he should of hit her. I just think that punching your dad is cause for grounding.

**** off. he chose to have the kid, he's responsible for her wellbeing. 'his house'. its the family house, not his house.
you're so repressed it's unbelievable. take your blinkers off and realise that in the 21st century, daddy isnt boss. respect your parents, don't fear them.
people like you disgust me.

This. Very much this. I don't even care if it's fair or not, but THIS. If the dad is as acting like as much of a child as the child then he shouldn't have kids at all.
OP: Your sister certainly wasn't right to punch him in the face, but I doubt the blame lies entirely with her. Your dad sounds like just as much of a cock.
Lol @ you lot asian punishment is alot tougher
my dad used to slap me with an open hand full force since i was 1 year old, but stopped when I was 18, I definately feel as though it made me more mature and I never hit in the face

You mean your parents were poor?

But what if you're not a mummy's boy?
Yes, she shouldn't have punched him. Two months? That's not bad for assaulting your parent. I'm not sure she was old enough, but most times we call that domestic abuse. I don't think a light slap was enough to warrant anything.
I don't agree with what either of them did. In fact, even before it got physical, your family relationships didn't sound healthy. I hope this isn't what it is like all the time.
My mom is very passive aggressive about it. I'm told about how much the heating bill went up 50 times in a month.
So I end up wearing three sweaters, two pairs of socks, snow pants and a parka in the house during December.

Lol! In my house though, I'm more likely to get a slap on the head for turning the heating on not off! My dad only likes spending money on the heating when we've got icicles hanging off our noses!

Is your sister likely to stop eating to avoid getting fat? Daily running sounds a bit much to me. But if she actually just loves running maybe she could arrange something with the PE department at school or something.
As for your dad, he sounds awful! It's not like she didn't have a good reason to want the heating turned off. I think it's totally unreasonable of him to expect his family to behave like his belongings and do what they are told. Does he force his wants on you and your mum too? I think your sister is right to stand up to him, especially if he hit her, but I don't think hitting him was the right way to go. If I was her I would report that he hit her, because that is totally wrong even if he only meant it in jest. I feel really sorry for you!
Edit: Also, did your dad not realise that using violence to force his family to do what he wants them to would result in him normalising violence for you? He sounds like a really awful person to live with.
