Don't be reactive in your punishments. Plan ahead, even discuss ahead with them. If you are rude and disrespectful - here's how we are going to handle it. Having a plan in action (whatever it is) avoids the snap decision when we are angry. Spouting punishments we have no intention of following through on (or feel ridiculous following through on) gets us in trouble.
Here's one idea.
