[QUOTE="bran155, post: 183865"] I don't believe for one minute you are driving him to do this. I know you hate checking his pockets. It's sort of a double edge sword, you don't want to make him feel that he is not worthy of your trust. If you treat him like a thief, wont he behave like one?? I go through the same thing here. Every time something is missing in my house or one of us can't find something, I cant help but to wonder, "Did my daughter take it?" The sad part is 9 out of 10 times she did. So I feel horrible for feeling like she is always the culprit but how can we not blame her, she just takes what ever she wants without asking to borrow it. This is one of our major issues. We have had to hide so many things. She just lacks boundaries. I feel badly accusing her because I feel like she is going to think, hey if we are always thinking she is stealing why not steal. Hence, the double edge sword!!! So, I get it. It's hard. Hang in there. :) [/QUOTE]
