Ok, so punish is a bit dramatic and taking away is OTt but very torn and desperate for advice...
Tomorrow DS has birthday. I’ve got some little bits, clothes and stuff but spent fair bit on new phone he wants (been saving and it just arrived). However over last few months he’s not covered himself in glory and now I don’t know whether to send it back - obviously he’d never know it was ever an option - and just give the small stuff.
He’s currently on suspension from college for a stupid prank (claims not him) and he goes back after hols as normal. Than last week got sacked from his part time job for basically just not working when he was there. For Mother’s Day he give me a present but it has had his crossed out and he’d rewritten ‘Mum’ instead so no effort to disguise the regift, no issue with a good regift but the lack of effort narks :(
Do I still go all out and hope he appreciates it would it be counter productive to reward total lack of effort all round ?!
Please help.
