DD (9) ordered this creepy elf thing with her pocket money. Apparently her friend has one which ? mustn't be touched but which moves around the house and writes letters telling her to behave well or else. I made it clear that I didn't want to play this kind of game- yes I want her to do homework, put her clothes away etc, but not by forging manipulative notes from this rather nasty ornament. Cue floods of tears, she's left out, I'm a horrible mother who spoils everything etc.
AIBU and if so what are you supposed to do with the blasted thing?
