A system of punishment common in The Family was the use of "demerits". It was common for the system to be reset weekly with punishments for accumulating different numbers of demerits during the week.

The punishments ranged from missing the weekly movie (See: "Video Night") to "Swats" and other corporal punishment.

Demerits could be accumulated for a variety of reasons, some ambiguous and broad like "pride" or "foolishness".
