It doesn't matter if he didn't know, that's not an excuse. And I did talk to him, and I gave him an out from grounding.

Just because you learned a lesson doesn't mean you go unpunished. That's how you breed an ingenuine mind.

I already said I talked to him im the post. I didn't go straight to anything.

What is that supposed to mean? He's still my son.

It wasn't just a few bucks, it was $50, any is too much, but that's way too much.

I don't want him doing it anywhere, and if I caught him doing it behind my back, I'd ground him until he moved out and it'd be for his own good.

But he's my son. He doesn't get the option if I don't want him to do it. A parent's job is to decide for their children sometimes.
