[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure he knew you were going to re-gift the legos? And were those Legos originally "his", until you unanimously decided it was going to be re-gifted, so maybe your DS saw "his" bday present that Granny gave him months ago.

Trying to see the other side of the story. You have such a knee jerk reaction and you must have comedown harshly given your kid, who isnt feeling that great to begin with, is crying for the past 20 min.

Did you (or dh) set him up for failure? Did your dh engage with him while you were out? Were there other toys to keep his mind off of things?

Sounds like he was left to his own devices so he snooped around, discovered a cool looking Lego set, and decided to try it out.

Really not sure where you got all that from. Seems pretty clear the kid knew what he was doing. OP, do not let him have the legos, you can not reward this type of behavior. [/quote]

+100. PP is making excuses for a child that chose to do something he knew was wrong. Sick is no excuse. He's crying because he got caught. The toy was put away in a location he knew he was not supposed to access. The child chose to disobey.  He chose to fail. I m so tired of the "set up to fail" excuse. [/quote]
