[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If lightning came out from heaven and struck dead every teen that made a rude comment, none of us would be here.

If it's out of character as you say, just explain to him why it's rude to say what he did. No reason to find a more fitting punishment. There may not be one.

Completely agree with this.

I would have died a thousand deaths if my kid had said that (and I'm not saying my son wouldn't have, we just haven't been in a situation like that and he's certainly uttered some other cringe-inducing things) but it's done, he apologized, and as another poster said the college savings is rather abstract for a 14 year old.

It would be nice if Grandpa could at least put a nominal $20 gift card in the card, kids like to get things.  Clearly he could afford it, but that's neither here nor there because it's his money.  But I think you handled it as well as could be and just reinforce gratefulness, appreciation, etc.  [/quote]

No!  The kid gets nothing else unless he shows genuine appreciation. Stop spoiling your children![/quote]
