I looooovvvveee that reply…. “Keep it and give him a piece back anytime he asks for money.” That’s A LOT of pieces… that game could go on for a satisfying amount of time. LOVE this! 😈

Yes, I'm gonna be "that guy" and start by saying WHEN I WAS A CHILD, my allowance was $5 a week and it felt amazing. If this kid can't appreciate however much that is (clearly more than 5!), let him go a month or two with zero money, and see if he learns to be happy with what he gets later

wait you guys get allowance?

He'd never again get allowance. I'd still but basic clothing and school needs, but nothing neon necessary stuff. He be wearing inexpensive clothing, regardless if it's what he likes, same for everything else until the braţ understood the cost of things and value of money.

Ungrateful little bastard....

I'd very carefully tape it, bring it to the bank for replacement, then keep it in my wallet until I needed it for myself. Oh, and as far as receiving any future allowance... when hell freezes over.

He obviously doesn't understand the value of money. So why is he given allowance?

Sell the little s**t on the black market

I've never gotten an allowance in my life and if this kid is unhappy with $25 (at least) than boohoo for him I'd never give him another allowance

I would rip it up in the even smaller pieces then make him tape it back together and then keep it

People told me I would regret not having children. I don't.

Give them a prepaid Visa card after spending all but a dollar.

Take it to a bank and trade it for new bills.

this is an opportunity for a learning experience, whatever that means

My allowance was about $2 for a month when I was young. Enough to buy a fair lot of stuff, but alas not now

Yes, or tell the story to a partner/ friend in the future

It's his money, he chose to spend it on a hissy fit instead of something that he wanted. So.....

Me too 🤣

Bills that have been destroyed will be replaced by the Feds. In fact, "as long as more than half of the original note is clearly present—and it doesn’t take special examination to determine the note’s value—a commercial bank can then include the note in its deposit to the Federal Reserve." That means, this money is still good, even if the kid who destroyed it, maybe not so much.

Great advice. Plus a big smile to go w/that!

Kids these days are so entitled. Like I had chores and I NEVER got an allowance so if my parents had given me anything I’d be overjoyed!

Honestly, I couldn’t come up with anything better than Hatim’s response

Their first mistake was giving this kid any money to begin with. Make him earn every cent. Maybe then he’ll appreciate what he has.

100%!

The idea of tearing up money because it wasn't enough is so alien to me.

Obviously don't give back that money and dock them up to the amount they wanted to receive

This is your allowance, you're not getting any more until next week. Here are the pieces in a bag and a roll of tape.

Easy, tell him/it that you've found torn-up money that you gave him. Ask why it was torn up and wait for the answer. After it has finished telling you what it did and why-ask it to sit while you decide what you're going to do. Make the creature wait for an hour or more. Come back in the room and w/out any anger tell the creature that you are disappointed in its lack of appreciation and let said creature know that you will not give it allowance for a-very-long-time and should you resume giving allowance again-you want the money to be appreciated and not be torn up or tossed on the ground. Pick up the pieces and keep them; take your sweet time taping the money back together and give the taped money to the small human larvae (when you choose to resume giving an allowance) again.

Time to get good at puzzles

i think you can send it to the secret service, they investigate for the federal reserve... or somebody does... maybe

You MAY be able to tae the parts together and recover the value at a bank. Worth a try.(or just take the pieces)

as a practical person I would tape it back together and take it to my bank and exchange it. For the spoiled little s...t.. no allowance for a while. Also maybe something involving wooden stakes, honey and an ant hill.

With a roll of tape!

I would've been either spanked or grounded and would lose the privilege of an allowance

I will let my kid solve it like a jigsaw puzzle

Stick it back together

Hahahahahahah. The last line. I cannot stop laughing.

Parenting level expert unlocked.

poor kid was just trying to help out… he had good intentions

Hahahahahaha catching this on surveillance is gold.

Throw the whole child away.

Busted!

An eight year old who dabbs?
