Exactly, the punishment is for lying, not for getting ink everywhere. That has to be made abundantly clear to him.Apple;877089 wrote:+1 billion+
reps if it takes away from something he really wants to do.
Maybe he lied because his dad abuses him? I mean, the guy is thinking about killing him after all.lhslep134;876990 wrote:Firstly you need to punish him for lying. If you don't, he'll start to think lying is okay. He clearly lied about the ink, and you need to let him know that you definitively know it was him and that there's no reason to lie.
In terms of punishment for the ink, what are you going to do? Kids will be kids. The lying, imo, is the bigger problem here.

Exactly. Make the little shit paint the door for lying to you and make it clear that is why he is painting it (as others have stated).HitsRus;877000 wrote:12 year olds can paint too....

I start to get dinner ready and he goes outside to play. He comes in a few minutes later, gets on the computer and is really quiet. I go to get something out of the pantry and I notice blue ink on the door. I call my son over and ask him why is there ink on the door. He says I don't know. I ask him if he exploded the pen and he tells me no. I ask to see his hands and they are covered with blue ink. I ask him again did you explode that pen, he says no. I clean the ink off the door and tell him to wash his hands and check around the house for more blue ink.
The white front door has a big smear of ink about 6 inches below the handle. I tried to clean it off but it is not coming off. I just painted the door a few months ago and I don't feel like sanding down and repainting. At this point I am count to ten over and over, trying not to yell, but picturing doing some physical harm to him, which I did not. He eventually admits the "magic" blue ink did come from him even though he originally denied knowing where it came from.
Any suggestions on removing the ink and keeping the paint intact?
Before you get on my case about making dinner, my wife is in Chicago today and you don't want her cooking anyway.
I thought you said mild punishment, what's with the death sentence?Devils Advocate;877195 wrote:I think you should sit down and have heart to heart talk with your son.
Explain to him the importance of honesty and and following direction from you.
Then I would give him some kind of mild punishment like extra chores or no Xbox for a week.
Make sure to give him a hug and tell him that you love him no matter what.
It shouldn't be you. Have dipshit paint the door under your watchful eye.mella;876976 wrote:It shouldn't be. I'm just pissed off that I have to.

Can't he smack her for both leaving the kitchen and letting the kid's values to be screwed up? Why does it have to be one or the other?O-Trap;877615 wrote:Fixed.
