roughy, it's not an ipad, it's a "hi-pad", a cheap Chinese rip off, there are millions of different cheap rip off Chinese tablets, so it might not be so easy to repair.

it was an ipad:hihi:

Treating is one thing but dont forget money and gifts cant buy love. Helping him learn the value of things will help him as he grows older, it doesnt mean you arent loving him, it means your helping him be a better person.

I would have thought the negative comment was "you do right to get your grandson what he wants".

 

Is it wise to give a child everything they want? Children need to learn that life doesn't always give them what they want.

:(You are obviously not a grandparent its the mother and fathers job to chastise and stop priileges if necessary some day you will understand or maybe not in your case :(

It was not aimed at you personally. Sorry if it came across like that.

I would hope any child is not chastised as that is draconian. Stopping privileges is okay and worked for me.

 

I'm not a grandparent but I do have grandparents

 

Last on this off topic subject from me, as I will be getting told off from the moderators.

If it's an iPad & not some Chinese rubbish then that makes it worth repairing.

I'm not a grandparent (yet) but I would expect my parents to uphold MY values and MY discipline rules with my kids.

 

By giving in and spoiling your grandkids in the way that you are you're undermining the parents authority as when they say no, the kids will have learnt that if mum & dad say no, go to grandpa he'll say yes.

 

As a parent yourself YOU should understand that.

I didnt mention hitting or shouting did I. Your missing the point.
