A little random question

Not sure if this is the right section to be asking, but I need some advice, my son is being a right little swine lately with a right attitude, only 6yrs old, now I want to make him earn his rewards, been trying to give him pocket money but he is never good long enuff to earn pocket money, so I found out he likes this kids game site called Moshi Monsters, now they sell Time Cards, not sure how they work, anyone here got kids who can advise and does anyone know about this site?

Thanks in advance...

Tried it, he goes round to his mates then I spend an hour walking the streets looking for him...

only let him go on it if he is being good?

Just looked at the site. Says the basic version is free, so I'd bet that's what he's playing.

Just ground him and show him some discipline if he's giving you trouble?

Yeah he plays the free one and his mates at school are on it which has got him playing it but wants the paid membership for the extras, which is practically nothing special, Ive told him I dont mind paying it if he shows me he can lose his attitude and stop making his little brothers cry when he is in his little moods. There is 1 month for £4 something, or you can buy 3 day membership cards at certain shops, but lets say he is good monday and goes on it, does it mean he HAS to use it tuesday and wednesday too or is it 3 days worth everytime he logs on and off?
Have emailed the site but no reply as of yet.

Just a guess but I would think that the three days begins the moment the card is activated and expires 72 hours later. Could be wrong though.

Ok I see.

If it's like most other game time systems, it'll tick down even when he's not using it. I'd expect 3 days after you activate it, the time for it ends.

I wouldn't expect it to be 72 hours worth of play time.
