1. I also find it shocking that Todd started inflicting this punishment without consulting with his wife first. And unless Todd is a stay-at-home dad (good god I hope not), LW must have witnessed many of Zephyr's so-called "misbehaviours" that Todd thought were worth punishing like that. So did Todd throw the toys away afterwards, sneakily behind her back?

I don't think Todd will mend his ways. Time to put him out with the trash.
