Punishment for destroying an Acekard

[Porobu]

Buy the WORST R4 CLONE

 

[Hakoda]

Give him an R4. Old games. Delete saves and make start all the games over. No Cheats. Wait two weeks and then buy an Acekard from a HK based site like Shoptemp. Don't order expedited shipping or even a shipping number. Leave him the black. Once it arrives tell him its defective and make him wait two more days. Finally restore the data to a MicroSD and give him the damn Acekard he's anxious for.

ban from ds then only let him use cheap flashcards with bad firmware and games for kids younger than him

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Alternative: Have the child do chores around the house, lets say $2 a chore. Make him save up for a new flash cart and new SD card.

- Ban the DS for a week (i do that)
- Give old R4 with Wood (if it's an original)
- Buy yourself a SuperCard DSTwo
- Ground the Dog for a Week!

Give me a break. I thought it was a chew toy.

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

Delete all the dog's save files!

...wait...what was the question?



Back on topic: Sounds like you found a pretty reasonable solution.

okay back off topic for a moment:
I imagine the dog saying "You called it a chip! Chips taste good! What do you want from me!?!"

He's 6 years old and he can already get money to buy a flashcart?

My son is 7 and asked me to take him into town this weekend, because he's worked out he has enough in his piggy bank to buy a DSi XL. No mention of paying for the gas or parking...

You know Childlabor is a crime? (héhé)
Ok, back in my days i worked to, i had to, in the garden, but i didn't get payed for it

My parents found it just natural that kids help in the household as soon as the could
(Garden, Dishes, etc...)


But, yeah it's nice the get rewards for helping out, it's nice the have to do something to gain something and the get to know the value of what they buy!

 

[weiHe]

the dog!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Pi]

give him a r4 without wood

 

[eltrut]

Use the banhammer.

Also, kick the dog for good measure.

 

[Njrg]

Be a Michael Vick; Kick the dog...

Animal Abuse FTW!

 

[Cermage]

make him work for it. 10c a chore.

 

[iMinotauro]

Take the DS from him.
I'm not a parent however I am an Uncle.
As much as I hate to see my niece cry I do get strict with her at times.

All you can really do is #1. Parents these days don't appear to have much control over their children, hence this is why that happened. My brother is doing alright with his kid but he exhibits the qualities of one that would be totally out of control and obnoxious if the parents let him run wild and free. My cousin, on the other hand, has no control over her own son and he runs wild and does a bunch of annoying things to piss off people just because it shows him attention and he doesn't generally get punished for anything. That spoils a kid. But oh well I'm glad I don't have any of my own so I don't have to deal with that nonsense

Just limit the kid's use of the console I guess. Kick the dog? no the dog doesn't know any better than a 2 1/2 year old kid so it isn't the dog's fault. Get the dog a chew toy, there's no sense at all in punishing the dog. It seems that is what he needs if he's chewing up plastic. Also the other two look like rewards for doing something you told him not to do. And those two go along the lines of bad parenting imho which is basically what my cousin would do.

Besides the second option the others are not much of a punishment, are they?

You've said it often enough, now he has to live with a R4 (actually not even that bad with wood R4, so I'd go with the old original firmware as punishment). The other option would be to buy a new Acekard and gift it for christmas.

Oh and no restoring of the saves!! (At five I owned floppy disks and also had to live with it if they got lost, so I kept good care)
