[Closed] My son just confessed

Doesn't every child in the world do this at some point?

No pressies 😈

Rake the Garden before supper?

Buy him some lottery scratchcards as presents - but check them all before you give him them.

Wee in his christmas stocking.

tape the remaining now empty windows shut and make open one every morning to nothing...

i never did it. it would have been sacrilegious in our gaff.

Rake the Garden before supper?

Really hope this isn't a euphemism 😯

put wee bits of brussel sprout inside the windows and make him open the windows and eat them?

I would be disappointed too if I'd bought my kids low quality chocolate.

I am not angry, just so dissapointed .

no pudding?

tell him you're not giving him any more spelling lessons?

Good god no!

You'd be instantly found out, for a start! If you're going to nick chocolate, don't nick them from numbered single-use windows that everyone can see!

He's 29 years old.......he has to make his own mistakes sometime.

I always opened the bottom of the box, slid the tray out, eat the tuck, slid tray back in.

I think the traditional punishment is to replace all his presents with a piece of coal.

Splashing out this year? Normally you have these.

I assume that you still have the receipt for the power kite?
Take it back for a refund.

I liked the suggestion on a Facebook meme earlier on, place some fake presents under the tree every time child does something naughty throw fake present on the fire/crush and destroy...

Did you expect the high quality chocolates to go first? He fessed up, give him a milky bar!

It all about life choices you know.

I still eat the chocolate that my MIL hangs on the Christmas Tree every year and pretty much get caught doing so every year. The bizarre punishment is to ban me from eating more. I've already eaten two thirds so Ha! It's almost become a tradition.

I'd play the long game OP. buy him an old school, picture only, advent calendar next year. That'll teach him. Or you could get revenge at Easter by eating all his chocolate eggs before he does. Get in touch if you need help eating them, email in profile 🙂

Chocolate in advent calendars??
All we had was a picture of a present.

Picture?

You were lucky. We used to [i]dream[/i] of seeing a picture.

We used to dream of seeing lumps of coal and horse shit.

Good in him. On the 16th I finished up 2 Calender's. Not enough doors left to give the class another go so universal vote gave me the lot.

i assume the far wall of the mansion was too far away to see when the butler opened them for you? 😉

Not any old picture, on the 25th, we had a picture of baby Jesus.

My wife lost the plot with my son today and put his advent calendar in the bin. He's 3.

Spoilt rotten you lot. Our calendars had no doors to open because we couldn't afford doors. You'd be faced with 25 empty little holes with no picture in them. You'd have to imagine your own door and a picture to go with it.

Titchener?

My kids think I am the most evil mother ever. Their advent calendar appeared (little wooden houses). Lots of excitement. Until they opened them. No chocolates, no sweets. Just tasks, like 'tidy your room', 'ring Grandma and tell her about your day', 'draw a picture', and 'put away all your clean clothes'. There are some treats mixed in, but mostly it's chores. There was a stage where they were refusing to open their advent calendar. I quite like watching their reaction as they try to hide their disgust (back chat would result in a telling off). To be fair, I probably am evil.

Make him eat some chocolate money.

The tin foil will go well with the amalgam fillings

not a good idea, i made the pretense of flushing his favorite toys down the toilet once as a punishment, he was very distressed and reminds me of it 22 yrs later.

Wrap him up in a kite and post him off to Africa, tis the only way he'll learn.

Luxury! We were so poor when I was young that you had to wake up on Christmas Day with a hard-on or else you had nothing to play with.

Tell him that every time he does it, one of Santas elves is killed. Works in my house (with my 39 year old wife and me).

Opening advent calender doors before they were due, fate worse than death territory when I was growing up!

so should i give him the big sit down and chat or just brush it off and allow pudding again?

wtf is wrong with him seriously? You need to have a word.

My daughter called it a manufacturing defect and got a go in the tub of Cadbury Heroes.

Your boy is too honest.

I was wrapping my wife presents last night and ate some chocolate I bought her. My self control is bad at the best of times but this was a new low for me!

For our boy we have a wooden truck which we fill with chocolate each day in the correct number, so he can't eat them all. Unfortunately I keep eating the chocolates as I fill it up...1 for him, 2 for me...

I maybe have issues.
