[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7 year old DS asked to open the Pokemon card set I bought for his friends birthday party tomorrow and I said no, explaining that you can't give an opened set of cards as gift. He did it anyways while I was busy with his sibling and I am SO MAD! We now need to find an extra gift for this kid (meaning another store trip in the next 24 hours), and the cards themselves are messed up so basically $20 is totally down the drain. Giving him the cards is not an option.

I lectured him in the car all the way to camp while he cried his eyes out. What should be his punishment? He does not have $20 to repurchase the gift, nor will he care to miss this kids birthday party as its a neighborhood friend that he doesn't particularly care for at a meh location.

Thanks![/quote]

He doesn't get the cards, you tell the other parents he has to stay home as punishment (so no birthday party for the other kid and no extra present for you to buy.) He then gets to do chores with your supervision during the time of the bday party, and he does enough to "earn" the 20.00 back...or enough for a seven year old. Or sit in timeout with no toys.

This is the answer. [/quote]
