What is the proper punishment?

[HoopsTournament]

My son decided to wear a Mizzou shirt when we go out to eat tonight after I forbade him.

 

[CycloneYoda]

Give him a hug.

 

[keepngoal]

Embrace it.

 

[CycloneYoda]

Have snowcraig pick him up from school. Might be awhile.

 

[bostrem00]

burn the shirt to prohibit repeat offenses :th_jtteglad:

 

[ShockRerun]

ignore it

 

[SenorCy]

Isn't wearing a Mizzou shirt punishment in itself?

 

[CycloneErik]

Disowning him could be an option, but the better question is this: What sort of parent allows that shirt into their home?

What he did is terrible, but I blame you for allowing the situation in the first place, and then for attempting to pass the blame onto your son. Man up and own responsibility.

 

[wags]

write all over it..then he won't want to wear it again

These were my two first thoughts when reading the OP; in this order.

 

[CycloneErik]

We've got to get back to personal responsibility.

 

[kkise]

Tell him he's tough as rain.

 

[ShockRerun]

He is probably just wearing it to mess with you so the less attention you give it the quicker it will go away.

 

[RING4CY]

Give him a hug.

This.

This also. :biglaugh:

 

[DesertClone1]

he is no longer your son

 

[CycloneErik]

Have snowcraig pick him up from school. Might be awhile.

That would give him time to conceive a new son and train him up properly.

 

[SenorCy]

Tell him he's tough as rain.

*Tuff

I suppose it depends upon the age. At a certain point you can't simply keep it out of the house or physically change their clothes! Sad as it is you have to let them walk their own (wrong) path .
I have a 'special' step daughter who owns some black and gold

Oh, you can make him buy his own dinner though if it makes you feel better!

I know a little boy who isn't allowed in JT on Saturday...

 

[IowaStateClones]

Punch him in the face
