I think it is really important that you follow through on what you dealt him as his consequences. Don't have him make you second guess your choice. It just send the message to him that you can be easily manipulated if you back down on your word and should you, then there is little incentive to not make choices like this in the future because you didn't hold up your word. What was the point in saying x, y and z if you aren't going to follow through. That sends your son the wrong message in my opinion. Being a parent is not about being cool. He isn't going to like the consequences, but they are important in order for him to learn his lesson.
