child opened all his christmas presents plus more *edit*

[Anonymous]

lets just say I'mseeing red right now.

he opened ALL of the Christmas presents. Ones for EVERYONE! not just his. He then tried to hide them all.

Lied about doing it..

he will NOT be getting anything for Christmas or his birthday which is 17 days after Christmas.

ALL of his toys are know locked away. He will not be playing with anything. The only thing he got to keep is his books, bed, chair, and cloths.

He will have to earn all of his toys back with good behavior.

I'm taking back all of the gifts that were for him. (that is 400 dollars worth of gifts) I'm keeping the ones for the others. On Christmas day he will be sitting in a corner watching everyone else open their gifts and he will get nothing...

Santa will bring him nothing in his stocking, nothing for gifts because he only stops at the good little boys and girls houses.

* I didn't spank him, I didn't threaten him. I bagged up all of his toys every single one of them and locked them away. He will have to find his own way to amuse himself with his mind. He has a chance to earn back toys though.

edit: since moring he has been trying to earn back his toys. I sat him down and talked to him. He knows what he did is wrong. He even said he hid them because he couldn't figure out how to rewrap them.

He has offered to help wrap the other gifts.

I told him I'd reconsider taking his christmas and birthday away if he is on his best behavour for here on out.

He helped me make breakfeast. Told his cousin he was sorry for taking her presents. He is now in his room reading one of his books.

After lunch is his cousins nap time so we will wrap the gifts up then.

Ouch. I don't know if I would do that at five.

If my 11 year old did that, he'd definitely get nothing for Christmas.

So he's 4 going on 5?? He's 4 then, not quite 5? Just wanted to make sure.......

He was almost 5.. he doesn't need to be supervised every single second.

Quoting Anonymous:

How old is he and why was he unsupervised long enough to open every single gift?

I think that is a bit harsh. He only ruined his surprise. Ok so rewraping everything is a PITA but he is five. Curiosity killed the cat, and all that jazz.

He's 5. Really wow . You are way overboard . Don't worry he'll never forget this Xmas .

He's a CHILD!!! Ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's four. Taking away christmas plus his birthday is overkill.

[Anonymous]

Wait he's 4. Wow

He is only FOUR.  He needs to be discipline but not celebrating his day of birthday and removing alll Cmas presents is not appropriate.

If he was 14 or even 10  maybe younger but not NOT four it woud be bad, but he is ony FOUR it is your responsibility to teach him!

Totally disagree but your kid...as a mom with kids who have December birthdays let me ask you this. If his birthday was, say in July, would you still take his birthday away. Christmas and birthday should be seperate
