RE: Re: Dumping and ripping

[Guest guest]

My boys used to dump but they did outgrow it – now 12 and 14. I think Tony,

12 just let it go about a year ago. Isaac let it go at about 7. But Tony

has to rip everything that might flap. He ripped the edging of the carpet

runner on the stairs. He will rip loose plastic off of items in the store –

like the handle on a large bag/plastic of toilet paper. And today, he

ripped a big strip of the material on the inside ceiling of my car off.

There was a tiny thread hanging down and after all these years, I guess he

couldn’t take it anymore. He ripped away. Anyone want to buy a 13 year old

car missing the ceiling material?

We call it swiping. We finally had to screw our lamps to the end tables from

swiped to the floor no matter how many times we make pick it up. Just

wonder why they need to do it. Sometimes he turns the furniture over too.

my 16 year old son rips his shirts

he's constantly picking on the hem until he gets a thread and then he rips it

out

I've given up on repairing them because he just does it again
