Grandson has used my card for games….?‍♀️

Thank you for your kind words doodlebug …

I'm almost afraid to post on this thread?

I will, however, just to say that there is no judgement from me either. My daughter did something similar many years ago. I can't remember the detail, but it was in the days when you couldn't get a cap put on phone account spending, and her phone had to be registered to me because she was under 18. She managed to run up enormous bills three months in a row, after which I gave her phone contract to my husband and got her a PAYG.

I most certainly did have words with her on the subject? I'm sure that she didn't realise how much she was spending, but as she'd been told not to spend anything (at the time I knew what she was doing - I've just forgotten now), I was furious.

It's not the same thing as deliberately taking money, but they do need to know that it matters, both for the account holder's sanity and so that they learn that clicks can cost - forgetting that can be the downfall of adults, too.

I realise (and did at the time) that it was my fault for letting her have a phone with a contract, but that didn't make me any less cross with the little blighter at the time!

I had to write it off to experience, Shinamae, which is all you can do; but don't feel bad about it.

Chewbacca. It is laughable, it really is. ?

Shelbel I don't think it was fair the way you have been pounced on for trying to help.

Gransnet seems bleak lately and I'm avoiding too many threads due to unfriendlyness

Who pounced on Shelbel?

The capacity for misunderstandings and crossed wires is great with messaging/texting.

Thanks for this thread Shinamae
My DGS has just been given a second hand PS4 and I am trying to set it up.
He uses my iPad but can’t use my card as it needs my fingerprint or other security details that he has no access to.
This device is making me unsure so having read so many of your stories I have decided that I don’t know enough and will get my computer guy to come and set it up.
Money that will be well spent by the sound of it.

A very good idea, something I wish I had done but then hindsight is a wonderful thing…

Or maybe you can’t see the smiley face..

* you are op... Wonder why you're so curt about this.

Not curt at all, just pointing out that I am the original poster as you didn’t seem to realise that and a ? does not come across as curt in my opinion…

Shinamae - I assume you mean that op has already spoken to her grandson or is there something else I missed.

Nothing like being ticked off on the Internet.

Ummmmm….. I am the original poster ? water off a ducks back ??

Just as well bibbity!

It would be interesting if you posted on Mumsnet as well Shinamae, to compare the reactions

^None of your damn business lady^

You win the internet quote of the day Shinamae!

bibbity you really are coming across as rather pompous!

I can not form words that adequately explain how little what you think means to me.

If I am coming across that way to you it sounds like a you problem.

Bibbity

Nothin I honestly could not care less. You are subscribing feelings and intent to my posts that do not exist. It's a big pathetic overall.

I just wanted to save OP time. She wanted to cancel her card. The faceless name on a screen can do what they like and it never affected my day.

And yet, here you are again..?

Never let a phone/lap top etc save your log in details and password if anyone else is likely to use it. Is that what happened?

Kids are kids, very often they should know better but it's so tempting. It's possible that he didn't realise if it was for in game extras etc. I would speak to him asking if he realised that these things cost but do express that it's your mistake having saved the details etc. He needs to understand how things work and the cost.
