A punishment should not be everything. Pick one thing and stick to that. If you take everything away from them they will just do it anyway. What else do they have to lose. She is only 11 , I can guarantee that she will lie again. It would have to be something really big , but if it is only because she lied. You are going to have a rough teenage years. People are kidding themselves if they think they don't lie. You never lied when you were young?
I'm sorry that is what kids do so they don't get in trouble...it is normal if though you think this would stop it forever. I went to parenting class and this is what they said. Plus never give a punishment that punishes you and this one sure is. But it is your child and you can only do what you have to do. But if you have to come on here and ask you know it is not right or maybe you want people to say good job at being strict.
That is a lot of money to lose. It sounds like you will make her the black sheep if she goes on the cruise , it can still be a family vacation can't it. It doesn't have to be a sad time the whole time.
