Derek did not clean the dishes even though it was his turn. as a result, his parents told him he could not go to his friend's house to play. what did his parents engage in?
Derek's parents engaged in punishment. As Derek didn't do the dishes even though it was his turn his parents wouldn't of been happy and had to take something away from him as he didn't do and his parent's would of ended up doing the dished for him. Hope that makes sense.
