Tp make Ds pay for his new hoody he left in Germany?

[Tracheostomy]

Last week before DD (13) went to Germany I spent £100 on new clothes for him. Amogst this was s £25 goody from Burton. He's now home and has admitted he left it in an imax theatre in Berlin. He isn't even bothered and says it was a low quality top anyway. Aibu to make him buy another one, same cost, from his own money?

That attitude is really off IMO

YABU.

I wouldn't make him buy a new one, but I wouldn't buy him one either. If he wants one he can buy one, but don't force him

I'd say make him pay, but judging by your other thread he seems over indulged anyway.

But the 'low quality' comment is bloody cheeky, I wouldn't be getting anything for him for a whole!

Low quality! Bloody hell!

I'd be asking for my money back.

YANBU. although I would not have sent hi to Germany with brand new clothes.

If he doesn't care enough about his possessions to look after them, and slags off what you've bought him, I'd be quite tempted to tell him he can use his own money for anything else he wants. For goodness sake don't replace it.

Well, I'm not sure where he's getting the money to pay you for it, but I wouldn't replace it. If it's lost, it's lost. It's frustrating, but it's him that will now be without it, not you.

Stop buying him anything until his attitude changes.

Low quality indeed.

Dear DS - Sorry it wasn't good enough quality for you. Buy a better one next time - with your own money.

What Sallyingforth said.

I was feeling a bit sorry for him when I read the title. But then I read his cheeky remarks about it being low quality. Cheek!!! YANBU. My DS is quite careless with stuff. And has lost quite a few things.

YANBU.

Maybe he could go and earn some money tomorrow to replace it when he has the day off school.

Spoilt child in behaving in a spoilt fashion shocker... Hold the front page.

Coming from someone who would pull a sickie if she had been up late the night before and was tired, I can see where he gets his entitled attitude! Let the poor pet have his lie in tommorow and forget about it. YAU

Yes: it doesn't seem coincidental...
