My teen was arrested by the police and i don't know what to do now

My son (15M) was out with friends like often, it was getting late and there was a knock on the door and it was my kid with 2 police officers. They explained they had caught our son and his friends vandalising and throwing stuff at someone's house. The home owner isn't looking to press charges and its unlikely any legal punishment will happen but I don't know what to do as punishment. Im very disappointed, this isn't the way I raised my son to behave he hasn't done anything like this before, im also very embarrassed. We just sent him to his room and said we'll talk in the morning but I have no idea what we'll do. Any advice or punishment ideas would be greatly appreciated. I may not read some of these until morning. Thank you :)

my mother is acting like my daughters mom

i’m 16 with a newborn daughter and it’s been great, she’s the easiest baby i’ve ever seen. my mom feels the need to try and do everything for me, and even goes to the extent of calling herself my baby’s mom. i know she just wants to help but i can do it. i’ve talked to her about it and she always says she’s “just being a good parent” but she’s taking my child away from me. and i mean doing everything like literally wanting to do every single thing and never let me have her. i just don’t know what to do because i appreciate the help but this is too much.

Fun Game for $0

I play this game with my 3 kids (ages 5-12) and they love it! It’s called Mr.X and it’s scary and fun all in one. Hide 3 items around the house. Then, your kids have to find them and bring them back to a base. Meanwhile, you are Mr. X. While they look, you walk around. If you touch them, the lose a life (we play with 3 lives). You can only see them if they are in your line of vision. You cannot run after them unless they have been seen. You’ll know where they are, but you cannot get them unless they are directly in front of you. It’s a great exercise too as they dip down and run for dear life. Hope you have fun :) I was inspired by the Resident Evil game and I do make zombie like noises to get them riled up.

#OldNavy told this first-grader they plan to develop real pockets in their girls' jeans after she wrote them a letter! "Dear Old Navy. I do not like that the front pockets of the girls' jeans are fake," she wrote. "I want front pockets because I want to put my hands in them. I also would like to put things in them." 👏👖 Tap the #linkinbio's to read her full letter and Old Navy's response. 📸: courtesy of BentonvilleSchools

Momming to the second degree

Recently I decided that FUCK IT I’m not my husbands mom and I’m fucking stressed. So to relieve some of that stress, I’m no longer taking on his stress. Currently, he’s on the phone with the doctor who closes at 5 (it’s 4:40) about how he’s almost out of meds and also out of refills. He’s a big boy. He can do this. I’m done calling the on call nurse on a Sunday once a month to beg for refills. I’m not checking your pill bottles to see how many fucking pills you have left every day. This happens every. Single. Month. Do you know why? Because when you get an emergency refill, THEY ONLY GIVE YOU ONE REFIL, and it’s for 30 days, so 90% of the time, that month, lands on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I’m done dealing with this stress. I’m happy that he’s doing it, but I’m still annoyed that I’ve done this every month for the better part of a year.
