8th of a mile in the woods?? He is six, put it in the middle of the lawn with a tarp over it, he'd still never find it.

That's funny :lol:

But, I'm pretty sure that because he is 6, the curiosity would kill him as to what was under that tarp :D

I'm uploading the video now. :D It'll take a while for it to sink in that it's really gone. He already had a few ideas on how to get another one. :D He asked if I'd buy him another one and when I said no he asked if we could go steal one from someone else. This may backfire on me. :lol: Well, as long as he's a good thief I guess. :D
I'm going to video tape us "finding" it later. Not sure if I'm going to give it back to him today or not. May let him sit on it for a couple of days. I'll just see how he's acting about it.
It's cruel I agree with you guys but it's something that needs done. I shouldn't have to tell him to put his 4 wheeler up every day. If he likes it as much as he says he does then it's his responsibility to take care of it. The first thing he said was that I forgot to put it up. Not in my job description.

I don't think it was cruel at all. Lessons are often tough.

Funny how quickly they find 'alternative' remedies though isn't it :lol:

I'd say a good week long grounding from it will do the job. It will seem like a year to him, and, he'll remember to put it up when he's done with it ;)

OK... maybe grounding him from it for a week will seem more like a year to you! :lmao:

It's hard, huh!

I would like to see his reaction too. But seriously you have to teach kids the hard way most of the time. And I guess the same goes for adults most of the time too.

Tough love is tough. But sometimes to "teach" properly we (parents) must exercise some tough love. Put your stuff up and they dont do it....well Orion is doing the tight thing. I bet our lil buddy here Zach will put his shit up now! :) Lesson learned and no harm no foul.

It would be really funny if he finds it and moves it to another place. He will teach you a lesson not to mess with him. :lol:
