[QUOTE="nvts, post: 183976, member: 3814"] My opinion? 1. no you don't cause him to do it and 2. whether it's difficult child's or easy child's you still want him to stop Me? I tell my kids (joking of course) that M-O-M stands for "Mean Ol' Monster!" I caught difficult child 1 "helping himself" as he liked to call it, so after several times busted, I stole from him. I borrowed his brother's gameboy and took a stink load of difficult child 1's games and stuffed them in my pockets, turned the volume up really really loud and played like a mad-man when he walked by. "Hey! That's my game." "Um, no it's not - um, I found it on my way to the store" "No you didn't" "Um, yeah I did! It was, um, on the ground, yeah THAT'S it! And I almost stepped on it, yeah that's a good one, and so I, uh, picked it up, yeah, yeah, that's what happened!" MOM! Then we discussed how it felt to have someone steal something from HIM. We haven't had any more issues, but I'm always on the lookout! Beth [/QUOTE]
