Still Me

I’m not entirely sure. It’s a hard bet with a kid like him, I feel like all his reactions to negative is the inappropriate reaction. and yeah I get it games are addictive but it’s a situation that if not rectified now could potentially lead to more damaging ones. I did however watch this guy going over others finances and it’s a common thing that younger generations don’t typically see the value of money outside of paying bills. So they don’t save when they should or don’t have emergency money when they should

Band and drama

Oh yeah that’s the one thing that’s been awesome. Punishments are carried in both households. Hell I told his mom that we were buying a book for him to read that he had to read 5 chapters a day no exceptions and she’s on board

It isn’t. Kid has extracurriculars and certainly a mother who would not allow it. Not to mention, dad didn’t agree with said suggestion either. what we had started doing prior was refusing to buy things for him, regardless of what they were. Making him the only source of drinks, snacks, activities, hell he had to buy all his school supplies. But what that turned into was him telling his mother that we “leave him to fend for himself”.

He’s in regular classes with assistance from the resource department

We were actually just discussing the cash option. He used to have cash but someone duped him out of it once. Like he paid some kid $20 for 4 jolly ranchers…😐

And you would be wrong but you can kindly fuck off

He says he’s sorry. The most recent time he did cry…but for the most part he’s detached

Back story: Boy (14 autistic) has his own debit card so that when he does chores or has a birthday, money is loaded on and he can use it or save it. It was built as an effort for him to learn the value of money. 2 months ago, boy managed to get debit card onto his google account, and spent $200+ on a freemium game called “cookie run”. boys account is monitored by mother and it flagged as unusual and that’s how we found out about it and subsequently punished by taking all his electronics away, deleting payment info from the google account, and explaining what a pay to win game was. He then said he wouldn’t do it again and that we assumed was the end of it. 2 or 3 weeks ago he had his debit card taken away for spending too much at school for snacks (like $70 in snacks bro…) so his mother took it and put it in her office. Then sometime during the night, he went into her office and snapped a photo of his card and put it back into the google account. then about a week ago we get a call that he has spent another $200 on that fucking cookie run game. Took away all his electronics again, deleted the card again, and was told if he’s seen playing that game again he’s getting a flip phone. Now he has to have the phone back for when he’s in school, but when he’s home he loses it. But apparently when he was at school he redownloaded the game. And he’s still not getting anything entertainment wise back. but at this point we’re at a loss of how to punish him. Cause clearly taking things away are not the answer, it does nothing. Last night I had him write me a one page (front and back) essay about why spending money on a game like that is bad and what he’s going to do to stop. And today he has to right me another one page essay about why paying attention in class is important (separate issue, email from teacher) and why education is important. And later today we are buying him a book that he is going to be required to read and write an essay on what it was about. does anyone else have a recommendation for another constructive punishment? Cause I don’t think this is working either

oof dude…that sucks. Luckily I’ve never had a car issue like that that wasn’t covered under warrantee. Or at least paid for by someone else’s insurance
