Today, I was out shopping with my son and unbeknownst to me, he had secretly added a bunch of expensive games he wanted to the trolley. I was too embarrassed at the till to make a fuss as there was a huge line behind me. I watched as my normal £50 shopping bill climbed to over £400. FML

Here's an idea. Put the damn games back and discipline your kid.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you need to take control of your life before your son ends up the most spoiled, demanding child you've ever met. You taught him a lesson today - "Mom won't cause a scene, so I can get away with whatever I want in a public place".

I have no remorse for you. You had a choice at that moment. You're the one in control and YOU chose to let your kid have his way.

Letting him get away with that guarantees that he's one step closer to being a self-important, entitled ass. Good job, mom. *thumbs up*

So now the kid knows he can do whatever he wants in public and you won't do shit about it. YDI

I would understand if it was one game, but the shopping bill was over £400! He is probably going to continue to do this until you discipline him

Grow some backbone. You should've told him no and put the games back. I would've never done that to my mom, plus she would've (probably) whooped me if I tried that stunt.

My mother would have never allowed that to happen. Way to teach your kid that you are a pushover in public. What happens next time? Step up, be the parent, and say no! I'm so sick of parents being such epic failures with disciplining their children anymore.

We get people changing their mind about products at the register all the time- we just put them aside until an associate has time to put them back where they belong. It's not making a fuss to simply request that the items be taken off the purchase.

You completely deserve it. You're the parent and should have said nope. He's going to be a spoiled rotten little shit no thanks to you. Its parents like you that make me wish my kids didn't have to grow up with this future generation. Nothing but a bunchof pushovers. Let him look like an idiot throwing a tantrum in public. People will applaud you for sayingno instead of giving in
