Thats ridiculous, I mean I know breaking the vacuum cleaner was stupid but no no need to sell his XBox!
Isn't that presumptuous?
Who said it was his XBox?
More to the point:
What would you have done?
I'd really like to know as well.
About the porn,<snip>Seriously, though, most teenagers are gonna watch porn, its all to do with hormones etc.
Yes, it's a fact of life. It doesn't change, however, the fact that he was doing something on
her computer (and with
her internet connection) that she obviously doesn't condone. Personally, I wouldn't care what my kids (when I have them) do in porn terms (I'd obviously tell them about pedophiles and such, and help protect them from them), but I respect the mom's right to make that decision for herself.
Is it not the mums fault the kid is spoiled in the first place? Therefor, its all the mums fault the kid done this in the first place, its bad parenting.
I see. So we can always blame someone else eh? It must be my parents fault for not getting a good grade in <insert class>. My break-up with <insert name> must have been my parents' fault as well.

Please realize that in the real world, no one cares about your excuses and you can't try to find a scapegoat for all of your problems.
Besides, the mom's actions point to good parenting, which even if it has only begun now, is a step in the right direction.
And thus below the age limit for MR. Well done!
That dosent change the fact that if a teenager is spoiled it is their mums fault for spoiling them in the first place, I know because I am a teenager.
Ah yes, the ultimate authority on all things. I guess we'd better defer to your intellect, because as you indicate, you are a teenager.
Some children are just more difficult than others. This mom was obviously trying to instill responsibility before by issues a chore list, but her son is just resistant to reasonable requests (as many, but not all, teenagers are). Now that he's failed to live up to that expectation, she's carrying out a punishment. That's classic good parenting if anyone's ever seen it.
