My son has turned 6. How should I tell him it is time to get his own place?

[AggieGal]

Just a copycat.

PS, I have no kiddos.

[Gormy Cuss]

1. Pack up the toys and put them on the curb.

When he runs out to retrieve them, CHANGE THE LOCKS.
That ought to do it.

[AggieGal]

2. Sounds like good idea

but then what would I sell on ebay?

[Dr. Strange]

8. That works with kids of ANY age!

Some adults, too.

[AggieGal]

12. I bet it does

[Chan790]

3. That's too bad...

I was going to say that as long as he can come up with the rent I'm in the market for a roommate.

[AggieGal]

9. Thanks for the almost offer

He can just go somewhere else, like in a van down by the river.

4. Have you told him there's no Santa yet?

[AggieGal]

6. I can do that

I will also spill the beans on the tooth fairy.

Just like a taking off a bandaid.. all at once is better than a little at a time.

[Stop Cornyn]

14. Well, if you're taking off a bandaid - all at once telling him there's no Santa or Tooth Faerie, you

may as well tell him the truth about Jesus, too, and make a clean sweep of it.

5. I don't think you've fully contemplated your options.

If the kid is the least bit cute or precocious, you can put his little butt into show business. Have yourself set up as the administrator of a trust for all his hard-earned cash. Then pillage and loot the trust fund while you keep the little bastid duct-taped to the bed between blockbuster movie appearances.



Just kidding. I don't have any kiddos either. At least, not since CPS's last visit.

[AggieGal]

7. Is it worth it for the money?

The kid would probably divorse, emanicpate or whatever it is called to get rid of me before age 18. Leaving me with nothing to show for me not giving him the boot at age 6.

10. Put a peanut butter & Greyhound Bus ticket sammich in his little lunch pal for school...

He'll figure it out :thumbsup:

[AggieGal]

11. I was supposed to send him to school?

Could have used that info sooner. Oh well.

[bridgit]

13. Send him to a Tractor Supply, tell him its a school...

Save money on Peachy notebooks, and time on parent/teacher stuff :headbang:

15. Six?? And he's still living at home?

You must be one of those helicopter parents.

16. Don't tell him. Surprise is always best

Next time he's at a rave club looking for kicks, just change all locks on the doors.
