13?
I had an issue like this with DS7 in January.
I'd make him do laundry - ALL the laundry.
I agree totally with Moon - all of it.
I would talk to him and find out what happened and ask him what he thinks he should do to avoid that in the future.
That was horseplay after all - and boys will be boys.
My DS is 8 and he just got into some big trouble yesterday--he is super lucky he goes to a private school!!
April
I had a similar situation two years ago with DD and to a lesser extent DS. DD was being harassed by some gang bangers and big bro. and friends stepped in to help out.
" Last night we stripped his room of everything but his bed (thanks to Allison!!) and he is grounded from TV and friends for a week at both houses."
I find that works amazingly well!
"Part of the "deal" was that he was to keep his grades up and nose clean.
