Yes, time for him to start feeling those things. When my S17 had his teenage switch click on this past spring to the tune of a $500 cell phone bill, I told him that he was going to have to pay me back. this was money for the family, for food, clothes, bills and I just didn't have a bunch extra laying around. Thankfully I had been able to start saving again(as I had just filed bankruptcy)and had enough to cover it.
He agreed that it was irresponsible of him knowing that I didn't have unlimited texting. We got it all worked out and he paid me back in full. For every action there is a reaction!
