I know this might be mean, but that is actually a great thing. Manny is LITERALLY NEVER punished. In one of the books, Manny made up imaginary friends to blame stuff on and get extra cookies as a resuly of. He did something bad, but Mannys mom Susan Heffley did not punish Manny but instead punished the supposed imaginary friend who supposedly did the bad thing. Also she allows the imaginary friends to have cookies, which as a result since the imaginary friends are probably not real, end up Manny with there cookies for himself to eat. Whats even worse is Susan is a TERRIBLE parent and won't punish Manny even if he cries. In Cabin Fever Manny was not punished after shutting off the houses power in all rooms except his and taking all the food for himself just because he was never taught to tie his shoes. As a result of his actions the rest of the family thought the power was out, were super cold, out of food and even worse was Frank (the dad of the family) was away at work.
