So, do I tell my son he has to

the fact that although we didn’t warn him, he’s old enough to know
he

has to take responsibility for his actions?

If it were me – I’d have him split the cost.

It sounds like he’s already headed down the responsible

kid path – letting him off completely might send him the

wrong signal. At almost-9, he’s old enough to know that

he should’ve checked it out with you or Dad before bringing

it along.
