[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 681321, member: 11832"] Roxona, Your husband simply didn't put as much thought into the situation as you did. I hope you told him all the concerns that you told us. Give him some time to wrap his mind around them. They all make sense. Did SS10 end up with the same bike that he originally got from the younger child in a trade? I sure hope that you are referring to a different neighbor. If it is the same bike, yes, there is concern because your son manipulated everyone involved in order to get what he wanted. And coming on the heels of his rage, that give son too much power. We have some friends with a teenaged daughter. She tried to win tickets to a One Direction Concert. When she didn't win the tickets, she threw a heck of a tantrum. Her dad ended up purchasing tickets for her and driving her to the concert the next state over. I would not have rewarded her tantrum with tickets to the concert. Remind your husband that kids need to learn how to earn the things that they want in life. Wouldn't it have been so much better for SS10 to do chores for money to buy the bike for himself? He would have learned a lot from that experience. [/QUOTE]
