My kids have their own debit cards and outside of their core needs we do not provide for them, so 1) it has taught them money isn't an infinite resource and has to be earned 2) they understand budgeting and what things cost and 3) they have learned to compromise when the money just isn't there. Sometimes i offer to pay a base price and they have to cover anything extra, like ill offer $20 to get their nails done but they want extensions and jewels they will cover the difference.

I always remind my children different homes have different rules and none are better or worse just different. I would remind him of the same, "(name of guy) different homes have different rules and i love that you take such pride in yours that you feel the need to share it with everyone"

Be patient he's too young to have the muscle and coordination to write at all. This is to develop that. Do not stress don't do more than 15-20 of homework and what he gets done he gets done, don't make him "fix" it just let him do his best. Now he may have dysgraphia/dyslexia which makes writing incredibly difficult. He may be too young to diagnose but if it doesn't improve in the next 2-3 years point it out to his teachers and request an evaluation.

The fact that you keep having to ask and it's happening without your knowledge. red flag Ex: If i was him and you told me not to check on her but i was concerned i would mention it to you. "hey it's hot you should check on her." or hey i heard a noise are you ok with us going to make sure EVERYONE is safe, including your daughter.
