[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 554407, member: 5663"] I'm glad you're letting him go to the dance for the sake of his girlfriend, that's very thoughtful of you. Maybe you can buy her a flower and give it to him to give to her at the last minute. I agree she shouldn't be punished because of his actions. Maybe he can work off the money for the flowers? And I say this because all the time I feel "punished" for both daughter's and husband's actions. All. The. Time. My daughter took my CC out of my wallet to try to buy this doll game thing on the computer. Thankfully she didn't know what the "exp" was, but I'm sure it won't take long. I really fear actions like what Eeyore did! The kid wants something, but then steals money for it. So then he has to be punished, and I'm sure you're less likely to want to buy him anything because of the punishment, and then he steals again to make up for not having money because he's being punished. It's like a vicious circle!! Does he get an allowance? Does he work in any way to earn money? How much money does he think he needs? Lunch money, a little extra a week for "stuff". But if he has a girlfriend, obviously he wants more so he can do things with her. It seems like if he wants to have money, he should have a job (and I'm not sure if he's the kind of kid that can handle it, but he could try). That whole if you are adult enough to have a girlfriend, then you can earn your own money to enjoy time with her. He'll need a job when he hits 18 anyway, why not start now and have time to flounder a little before it's essential. [/QUOTE]
