Buy a new one and take away some of his privileges (does he have a cell phone, computer access, TV time?) until he pays for the bookshelf.
Being a parent is hard but you have to make them follow some rules and know there is consequences if they don't and then follow through with those consequences.
You also have to have your husband back you. Your kids have to see that you two are a team and that you work together.
Good luck!! |
