[QUOTE="busywend, post: 183856, member: 391"] No, you are not driving your difficult child to steal from you. He knows it is wrong and he makes the choice to reach into your purse or not. The temptation is there for every kid, I imagine. But, for a difficult child it is intensified and harder to resist. in my humble opinion that is. Do you have a lock on your bedroom door? I put one on. My difficult child has taken things from me before. Money (mostly change from a basket I keep), jewelry, hairbrushes, etc. I decided it could only get bigger from there so I put a lock on the door. Everyday when I leave I close and lock my bedroom door. She hated it at first. Said it made her feel like I did not trust her. I told her it was a known fact that teenagers make bad decisions. It was not only her, but any of her friends that may be in the house (even though they are not allowed when I am not home). She got over it. I think every master bedroom should just come with a lock and key. No questions asked. [/QUOTE]
