[quote=Anonymous]Adding that you need to stop being a doormat, as others have said. Absolutely no food should leave the food areas unless you are the one doing it or approving it. I'll sometimes take snacks upstairs to my son's room if he's got friends over. But I collect the tray and leftovers afterward and make sure he cleans any crumbs or spills as soon as his guests leave. And the phones need to be in your possession every day until they've earned them by doing their tasks. Compared to my friends and family, I'm considered a pretty chill parent, so this is not too much to ask, if you're wondering.

As for expensive clothing -- Are you sure he even likes that style? It seems really odd that a kid would basically ruin new stuff by dumping food on them if he intended to wear them. I'm not sure which is worse, destroying something expensive you don't like instead of returning it to the store, or staining something you intend to wear. Either way, that's just really messed up and deserving of punishment. He'd be using a flip phone for a month if he did that at my house. Have you shown him the receipt and explained how many hours he'd have to work at Starbuck's to buy them?[/quote]
