DS is 13 and in yr8.
I'm ashamed to say I got angry with him earlier when he told me he'd lost the new calculator I bought him 2 weeks ago to replace one that he broke, which I'd bought him to replace one he'd lost
I checked his bag, he had 1 pen in it. That was it. So he's lost a handful of pens since the start of term.
He "can't even remember" having a ruler or highlighters (he did have).
Thing is he doesn't really seem to care. I need to tell him to look in lost property/ retrace his steps etc. He wouldn't do it if his own accord.
He hates telling me that he's lost stuff, but makes no effort to look after stuff he does have nor to locate stuff thats gone missing. It's completely out of sight out of mind.
I ordered him a whole load of new stuff from Amazon tonight, and used his card to pay for it. I'm not paying for things any more.
What else can I do?? I can't follow him around school.
He's a lovely kid, he hasn't turned into a grumpy teen just yet. But he's bloody useless with his stuff.
Help!
