Sounds like he now has a decent pair of spare gloves.

Hope his hand still isn't growing. It's my experience that kids really have no concept of how much things cost.... have no clue how old your son is, though. But hey, congrats dad, for raising a kid who is caring of others.

I'm annoyed at my son for perhaps being TOO generous. -- Late 80s Hokie 03/28/2022 3:18PM

So if your son had worn the gloves they would be significantly less worn? -- SteveInBaltimore 03/28/2022 6:03PM

Actually, yes. The new gloves weren't supposed to be used for a few more -- Late 80s Hokie 03/28/2022 9:34PM

At least it was not a jock strap ** -- turkeywinghokie 03/28/2022 5:05PM

How much for the new gloves ** -- Brown Water 03/28/2022 3:37PM

List price $65. I didn't pay that much as I had a cpn, but that's the -- Late 80s Hokie 03/28/2022 3:45PM

I might ask for restitution from the mom ** -- Brown Water 03/28/2022 3:51PM

Sell her the gloves. That thought has gone through my mind. My son has -- Late 80s Hokie 03/28/2022 3:53PM

I was thinking along the lines of sexual favors. Maybe a pee pee touch. ** -- Brown Water 03/28/2022 3:54PM

As we were coming out of Covid, most sports instituted a rule -- Tafkam Hokie 03/28/2022 3:43PM

Much of that has gone away, as least where I am. Even in the tourney -- VTJayLaw 03/28/2022 4:13PM

My take... -- VTJayLaw 03/28/2022 3:33PM

I can appreciate much of that take, except my son was going to keep wearing -- Late 80s Hokie 03/28/2022 3:48PM

If $65 gloves are ruined after 1 game, I’d tell my kid to switch positions. ** -- Hoakie82 03/28/2022 4:25PM

Ruined? Nah. Much more ragged than I would have expected? Yeah. -- Late 80s Hokie 03/28/2022 5:02PM

No kidding, what is the goalie doing with his hands on the carpet that much -- Happy Dog 03/28/2022 4:49PM

And here I thought his kid was playing soccer ** -- Brown Water 03/28/2022 4:52PM

If a pair of soccer goalie gloves can't last a game, something is wrong ** -- Happy Dog 03/28/2022 8:01PM

I understand, I would just chalk up to lesson learned for you and him... -- VTJayLaw 03/28/2022 4:16PM

It’s a one time thing? If so, who cares? ** -- BG Hokie 03/28/2022 3:30PM
