Wow, way to teach your kid to blame other people and let them take the fall instead of taking responsibility for his own actions. You need to grow up, and your kid needs a better parent who actually has a shred of decency.

Your six-year-old, impressionable son just received punishment when he did nothing wrong. This will leave a mark. From now on, he will always worry about whether or not he will get in trouble, and won't feel sure that he's doing the right thing. Way to go, Parent-of-the-Year. You have potentially ruined your child's emotional well-being in order to avoid some slight embarassment. Also, besides crappy handwriting you apparently don't know how to use apostrophes.

Little things like this destroy a kids respect , and eventually love, for you. You may not see it as a big deal, but little broken promises and little betrayals like this begin to mount up. And guess what? One day, your son will be grown up. And he will leave you high and dry when you most need him, because thats what you did to him, throughout his whole life. What you did may not be punishable by law, but it matters a hell of a lot in your sons eyes. I should know, being in the same position with my mother. I may not want to kill her. But I don't want anything to do with her. And thats whats going to happen to you too, unless you try real ******* hard to make it up to that poor kid, starting by going down the school and telling them the truth.

Are you dysgraphic? Even if you aren't, admit it to the school and tell them you're dysgraphic. You get to keep your dignity, and your poor kid won't have to suffer for you being a terrible parent.

HAHAH i love the last part! you loser f ur sons life

I call BS - this happened on a Simpsons episode. If this is real...you're wrong when you say you still have your dignity.

I have bad handwriting too, it's not something to be a big baby about. You're acting more immature than your 6 year old.

I have terrible writing. I wouldn't blame my son for it though xD Jeez what kind of mother are you? I faved this because it's just so horrible it's almost funny.

Shame on you OP! I hope one day (soon!) you have to tell your child, to his face, why you lied and let him accept punishment because you couldn't admit to something as immaterial as having bad handwriting. Then hang your head and apologize.

Know that your child is perfectly aware of what happened. Six-year-olds remember things just as well as adults...sometimes even better. I remember my mom stealing birthday money from me when I was 8, and now, at 20 years of age, I still refuse to even let her deposit paycheques for me. You are a spineless coward, and your son will remember this for the rest of his life.
