So...While I was away at Scout camp this past week with my little guys. My 15 year old son and his friend decided it would be a great idea to reenact the Gunfight at The O.K. Corral in my living room with air soft guns! :o...The end result I have two impact cracks on my 19 inch lcd computer moniter and I am still picking up these little ******* pellets{It was a helluva battle} I wanted to tie him to a tree and shoot he and his buddy 150 times each with an air soft gun! :-) But fear of retaliation from mama bear and a prison sentence for child abuse quelled my blood lust! :-) This kid is going to shorten my life by years I swear! :banghead:
-
2 impact cracks on a 19" flat-screen? I think I'd have each kid pay for 1/2 of a new monitor. :-)
-
Put a small drop of molten lead in his ear while he sleeps.
-
I think I'd have to impact his crack with an airsoft gun!
Restitution for starters though.
-
Give them their Air Soft guns and I'll mail you my high-cap, semi-auto paint ball gun. Get them in your kids room and lock the door and then have a free for all with them!
There's gotta be a TON of stuff you can **** up in there with a few well placed balls. And the welts might be a good reminder that such toys are better played with outside. :-)
-
meh. three weeks "in the room" restriction, and permanent revocation of
his license to bear air arms.
which could alway be appealed to the superior court om Mom.

A 19-inch replacement LCD panel will probably run you about $300-400, excluding labor. We get smashed LCD panels all the time at work. The 15-inch panels start at $100, the 17-inch ones are about $200-250.
I wish I could take a paintball gun to the retards that send in their life story instead of a simple description of the problem. :whatever:

Yes When he gets a job he will be reimbursing me the 300 dollars it will take to either repair or replace! That is one part of the punishment...The more embarrassing part is when I get out the nekkid toddler pictures the next time his girlfriend is over! :-)

There is quite a bit of stuff I can **** up in his room! Three guitars,an amp,he's got a WII in there as well but I can't **** that up{I enjoy the golf game on it too much :-)} :-)

Yes he does appeal when the Supreme court of DAD is not in session! :-)

What manner of death shall I choose for my 15 year old and his friend?
Exhaustion due to endless chores. :-)

-
Vividly explain slow castration to him and his buddy...
Sharpen a knife while doing so...

You mean YOUR Wii and YOUR guitars and YOUR amp -- the latter set of which will now help the poor at Goodwill? Losing things, either through someone else breaking them or having to give them away, hurts.
-
Grind up and powder some raw fruit of the Ricinus communis. Add a little to his food daily. Desired effects may take between two and four weeks.
-
when he sees how long it takes working a part time job to pay off his portion, he'll think twice. And it's a lesson in capitalism and how not to be a DUmmie. Bonus!

Well I was thinking more along the lines of a nice yard sale and having him volunteer at a soup kitchen. The WII is actually a Christmas gift that was given to all three boys so I have confiscated it and put it on my tv so the little guys can still use it!

Last night a friend told me what a co-worker of hers once did. He had rented a storage room, and every time his son screwed up, he removed something from his room. Eventually, there was only a bed and chest of drawers in there.
-
Check out Ebay for your LCD monitor purchase. They have hundreds of new ones listed. I bought my 19" Sony for around $180. They have some great deals.
If that's all you teenager destroys, consider your self lucky. Car wrecks come to mind.

Yes I have something similar"a workshop in my house" the problem is all of the boy's things i've taken away now clog it up so I can't work in there! :banghead: :rotf:

Funny you mention car wrecks! He just got his driving permit :lmao: He also asked me before this happened to buy him a car and I was actually going to until this happened {he was going to have to pay me back for the car actually} Now I think I'm going to backburner that car for awhile until he learns the value of dleayed gratification and respect for others things!

You poor thing.
Really, I'd make him get a job or work chores to pay it off. As for the car, my suggestion is that he get a job close to home and start saving. Tell him that you'll match what he saves for a car. So if he can work and save up $1000, he gets a $2000 beater and so on. And the car is after he pays off the damage done.

He's been putting in apps at all of the local businesses and hasn't gotten a call back. I told him to start calling them and asking if they have reviewed his app and to keep bugging them! :-) He's normally a very good considerate kid but being 15 and a boy he tends to act without thinking at times! :lmao:

Has nothing to do with his age and all with his being a boy.
LOL!

Yet, I still find the need to keep mens folk around.

That's how I bought my first car as a teenager. It's also would be a good idea to buy him a 4cyl slow poke. The insurance will be less and racing in a gas saver would not be an option either. As a kid, many moons ago, I ate up the tires in 6 months on my dads new 8cyl Olds. My mom could not figure out how that happened.

I got a sweet 1992 Pontiac Sunbird teal green. It was my mom's car, but since both my parents worked at the same place, they rode together. It was only 4 years old when I got it, pretty sweet. I knew some kids that got brand new cars, some of them only lasted a year max before being totalled. LOL

Wanna make a kid appreciate a car? Buy him a piece of junk but affordable, that has potential, like a '75 Bronco, an MGB, a Triumph, or maybe a '76 Jeep CJ, and have him restore it for his own vehicle, with your help of course. This creates A) A bond, B) knowledge of vehicles, and C) his own classic. 77' MGB man here. I don't have it anymore. :(

my first car was a buick regal. :-)
my second car was a '73 camaro that my dad bought new, and gave to me when I was 18. we fully restored it as a "father
and son" project after I got out of college. we still have it. it's beautiful. 3 on the floor, and a 307 . . . it screams.

Lucky f'er. :-)
You realize that's worth some good money, right? :-)
...and will be worth a ton more in about 20 years.

he actually built a storage building, or what we mississippians call a "shed", for it.
I have a pic someplace. I will post it. it's a beautiful car.

Well. I can see I am the only one taking the OP question seriously. Ummph!

Just one will do. It's soft tissue all the way. And remember, its only a droplet.

Make the boy earn the money. Take it from him. Make him watch you spend it.
No car, just a moped.
Yup, I'm back, and brown. :-)

Fixt.

Hard labor for the summer AND restitution. Confiscation of the offending weapons. That's my verdict!!!

It's a fact, kids do some pretty stupid things at times. It's the malicious little punks whose butts I want to kick.
I think we do our kids a great service to impart on them working hard so that they understand the value of a buck. I have a 15 yr old who really hasn't put the two together. By 15, I think I had been working for 3 years doing paper routes, baby sitting, etc. If I didn't work, I didn't have the things I wanted.

Yes, friends, Schade bought her first push-up bar from an ad in the back of Jack & Jill Magazine. :tongue:

What the heck else did you think I meant? Schade has always treated her body like a temple.
