“YTA. Lost trust can’t be bought or bribed. “

“YTA both of you are. To try to cover it up with ‘it might explain why he has been acting different for a few days’ is total BS. Clearly no one in the family posseses any patience as you couldn’t wait out your son to come to you himself. Your husband is the bigger AH but you’re not far behind. And to buy back his trust with cake and presents is really low and I’m not surprised your son now has less respect for you. He’ll probably get over it, but when you choose your actions, you choose your consequences.”
