Grocery shopping with her best friend (her mom) should be allowed - c’mon
She was told she goes Nowhere…
go shopingwhen you said nothing at all stick to it don’tlet
Stick with what you said.
You said she wasn’t going anywhere at all you have to stick to that or she’ll never believe what you tell her when she gets your warnings. No shopping trip this week. I tell my daughter that she needs to be mad at herself. Teaching her consequences for her actions is a great lesson!

I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere with my mom when I was grounded. Going to town to get groceries or anything was a treat because we lived in the boonies and only went to town once a week. I had to earn that privilege. I even remember running after her car down our dirt road crying and begging her to let me go after I disrespected her. I am not traumatized over it, so I say don’t let her go.

Tbh it sounds like you grounded your daughter for anxiety and depression. Sometimes when you get depressed you have no interest or motivation to do anything , and you sit there looking at feeling guilty because you know you should which makes you more depressed and it’s a vicious cycle . Anxiety makes things seem a lot bigger than they are , it makes your head spin it does things some people dont even understand and have no idea how to cope with so we lash out and get angry and say things ( usually disrespectful things) . Personally I think you should not only take her to the store but unground her and have a talk with her about anxiety and depression and tell her you understand her and just want to help. Just hug her. I know it sounds crazy to think a 13 year old can have depression but they are people , with feelings and they need to be validated

Mine is currently grounded for the exact same reason! I take her to the store, because it gives us a chance to talk, and it is also an opportunity for me to practice what I preach outside of our home.
Take her and make her do everything…that’s a learning process anyway. Lecture on the way ask her questions she dont know to make her think give her some hard life examples while your out to show how important finishing school is. Sometime punishment dont mean take away but to teach lessons hard lessons make her butt do extra work
It’s only one week…she can deal with. Not going for one week. I was grounded for weeks to a month at a time. A week would have been nothing. Shes not going to learn her actions have consequences. And shell think that what you say doesnt matter because you went back on this one instance.

What’s bothering her!
The whole world is upside down.
I say take her shopping, tell her you love her and take her off grounded!
It will drive her to wonder what is going on! We are all mixed up and love is the best medicine!
You gave a consequence and you need to follow thru if she’s gonna take you seriously. If you dont, next time you ground her it wont be a big deal to her, she will know that she can work around it.
Take her. Thats something i.did with my mom every week when I was a kid too and now I cherish it
Hell there. Please use this time together a teaching moment. 
Leave her little ass at home. The point of a punishment is to learn about the repercussions of your actions…
Grounded means grounded…no store
