to stop DS spending £15 on pokemon cards

He has earned £20 doing jobs on a sunday for me.............hoovering, cleaning up etc.

He wanted to go and blow the lot on pokemon cards............now as much as i think it is right to give him a choice, I told him that I thought it was a lot to spend on these cards and it might be better if he bought a variety of stuff. (the last time he bought some he was quite dissappointed and the "pokemon rush/ high" didnt last very long)

My mate thought i was tight, he had earned his money and had a right to spend it how he wanted.Which although I agree with, she doesnt have to pick up the peices when he realises that infact he has bought a bunch of twaddle for £15!!!!!

In that case I think I'd have let him spend the money on what he wanted. My DS2 is 8 and into Yu Gi Oh cards and if he had £20 to spend I'd probably let him spend it on what he wanted, but thats me and everyone is different

Yeah Mika....I think if at the weekend he is still adamant that he would like to spend the rest on cards we will go back, I just wanted to make sure he was sure
