My son spent $48 through my Xbox profile. What is a fair way to repair it?
Gaming"You said I could get the pass," my thirteen-year-old said when I showed him three $16 receipts. I'd agreed to one purchase costing up to $10, with me there to approve it. He says he thought the three add-ons were parts of the same pass. Two of the purchase screens showed a price; he admits he kept clicking because his friends were waiting.
He was playing through my adult Xbox profile, which I'd left signed in. His own profile exists, but I'd been using mine to get him into the game quickly. So this wasn't a carefully configured child account that mysteriously failed. I made the shortcut available.
I've stopped further purchases while we sort it out. [Microsoft's purchase-approval instructions](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/family-safety/require-kids-to-ask-before-buying-from-the-microsoft-store-on-xbox) are for the family member's settings; I need to fix how we actually use the console. I'm also checking [Microsoft's refund route](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accounts-billing/subscriptions/get-a-refund-for-apps-and-games-purchased-from-microsoft-store), without assuming these add-ons qualify.
He gets $8 a week in pocket money. Taking all of it for six weeks would recover $48 if no refund comes, but feels heavy when I helped create the mistake. How would you divide responsibility while making the next purchase agreement clear enough that neither of us can hide behind "the pass"?
