[QUOTE="DDD, post: 558053, member: 35"] Sorry you are facing the problem. My perception of the event is that J is responsible period. Obviously the older boy is deficient in some way and perhaps he actually requires adult supervision to a greater degree than J needs. As far as the consequences although it may not be true with your son it has been my experience that the less said the better. I would opt to say something simple like "we will not be able to purchase unnecessary things for awhile as we now have a big bill to pay first". Period. End of topic. J knows he messed up. J knows it is appropriate to apologize for his wrongdoing. J knows that family money has to be diverted to repairs caused by his poor choice. He's a sharp little boy. Likely this quiet lesson will stay with him for years to come....I know in adulthood many of us rue choices we made as children. Sigh. DDD [/QUOTE]
