This happened on more then one occasion too according to the atomized bill wich was 157 pages of then showing the time, and caller of the texting!!! Why he did not just call the kid up is beyond me! He is grounded and has to work for me here at home to work off the money now. I told him that now I have to put things aside that I wanted to buy and do to pay off his bill, He is only 14 so it's not like he can go get a job at his age. Maybe once the Ice cream stores open up he could get a job their for a few hours that they allow kids to work a week. I am so mad because he has had his phone for 2 years and know's the rules  For some reason he only thinks that he is grounded for two weeks too! More like months and I might make it longer then that!! What would you do if this was your child? How long would you have the grounding?? All privileges are gone, no games and nothing that would cost money, cause he owse us $500 for the bill!! Or do you think I am being to harsh? i am so so mad!!! |
It WAS my child! Only not text messages, he was downloading ring tones to the tune of $200. I took away his phone and made him pay us back. It took forever, but that wasn't the point. We actually dropped our cell phones because the bill was $179 a month. Now we have a disposable one. It was $15 and we put $10 a month on it. It's really only so we can reach him when he's not home and now that he is driving he needs it for emergencies.
