So I recently found out my son Jacob pulled an incredibly cruel blink on one of his friends, I'll call Ashley, that's in his friend group. I know this girl. She's been to our house and even attended Jacob's birthday party a month ago. She seemed incredibly sweet, if not a bit shy. So when my oldest son Mark came and told me that Jacob had asked Ashley on a date as a prank, I was stunned. I of course asked if he could know this, hoping as any mother would that it wasn't true. But Mark showed me the family tab that we all use. And it seems Jacob forgot a log out of his chatting app, or had the long series of messages between Jacob and his friends, as they mocked Ashley all through this heartless prank. I was speechless. At first, I couldn't figure out what to do or how to proceed. I'll admit that I never once imagined either of my boys would be the type of person to do something like that. But there was no way in hell I was letting this go. So after a day of thought, I decided what was going to happen. First things first, he was grounded. For how long? I'm not sure. Secondly, I'd gotten Jacob a bike for his birthday, but it hadn't arrived until the day previous. And I planned to give it to him when my parents came to visit since they'd been unable to make the party. But instead of that, I showed him I knew about the prank and told him he was grounded. Then I made him carry the new bike out of my bedroom closet into the car before driving to Ashley's house. Him crying the whole way. I called her parents earlier and explained everything. So once we got there, I had him cart it to their front porch and ring the bell. Then in front of me, Ashley, her parents and God, I had him give her a sincere apology and gift her the bike. Even I apologized to her saying I didn't raise my boy this way and what he did was unforgivable. I also called the parents of the other boys who were part of this little stunt and they all seem rightfully horrified by their son's involvement. I felt I handled this the best I could and my friends agreed. Though once my parents found out that I had made Jacob give his birthday gift away, they said what I had done was too far. I still feel like what I did was right, but having my parents more or less dogpile on me like that actually made me wonder if how I handled it was extreme. Am I the asshole here?
