DS 9 is ALWAYS losing stuff- coats, hoodies, hats etc. We have talked about the importance of looking after your things etc and he has been told off.
Today he lost a musical instrument that would cost £400 to replace as it’s on loan from the school. I totally lost it with him- really really shouted (might have sworn) and told him if he didn’t find it he wasn’t having any Xmas presents. I don’t think I have ever been so angry. He was hysterical. Luckily for him someone handed it in in school- he had left it in the playground. Things have now calmed down & we have talked about it.
Was I unreasonable and did I overreact? I do feel bad for losing it now
