Preteens
3 weeks in starting secondary school, DS has lost...

- A PE shirt
- A full PE kit
- Two scooters
That's nearly £350 worth of stuff in less than 3 weeks! Everything is named multiple times but it looks like the PE kit and scooters have been stolen
The school's checking CCTV but for goodness sake. He's doing chores to pay me back for the replacement PE kit. The scooters aren't his fault so I'm not punishing him for that. I'm just cross with the whole situation.
Anyone else's child losing things left, right and centre? How are you teaching them to look after their things?

First time the eldest lost anything he expected me to magically replace it for him. He had a bit of shock when I told him to get his money together and buy a replacement from the school office in the morning which also meant he had to get up earlier.
Obviously it won't work for stolen items but it's the only item both of mine have ever lost.
If he's having so much stuff taken, is he being bullied?
