i was around 12 or so and stole a handgun from my grandmother. my mom found out about it before i even made it home. when i got home, she was waiting on the front porch with a belt in hand. down came my jeans and boxers right there bent over the banister for all to see while she beat me with that strap. had to go back and return the gun and apologize, then home and whipped again. my rear end was black and blue for a couple weeks, but ive never stolen again.

I'm devastated and don't really know how to handle it.

17 yo girl with new baby girl. Mom's Step Dad left Bio-Mom. Bio-Mom (40 yo) meet (20 yo) boyfriend online in different state. After younger sibling punched Bio-Mom in face, BIO-mom told Child Protect Service (CPS) worker, "I no longer want these Girls, I am out!". Bio-Mom abandoned teen girls. Girls walked over to their grandparents home. Consisted of 1 bedroom, 1 bath trailer, Grandparents, Adult Uncle, & male room mate (all use and sell Meth). All adults tested dirty by CPS. Both girls spend weekends at their boyfriend's(gang bangers) homes. I provide everything for Mom and Baby CPS has said will do obligitory walk through, drug test me and close the case no financing. 17 yo goes through my belongings, steals my stuff and lies. rude and disrespects me, dystroys my belongings, takes and hides my cell phone, steals my prescription meds, steals money. I lock all other bedrooms doors. Refuses to help, chores, going to school. Fights all baby proofing. Horrible situation

Hi Nicholeen,
I've got a question that I haven't seen answered anywhere (not even your podcast/YT channel, which I love).
My kids are fairly well behaved. We've put a lot in practice what you teach (disagreeing appropriately, etc), so they're even better now, but they weren't too bad before that.
I'm having a family over for a week who has 2 kids. Their kids are disastrous at times (screaming, spitting, breaking other children's toys, etc.), and although the parents are aware of this, and I know what they're doing wrong, I don't think simply telling them what they're doing wrong is really my place, nor would it be well accepted.
How would you go about opening the subject, and what would you explain? I feel there are so many skills (parenting and personal) they'd need to learn that I wouldn't really know where to start...
Thanks for all you do!

My boys usually just take things from me and each other without asking.

My 10 yr old stealing every night early morning and no consequences or rewards for not doing it. Thinks it’s all funny and laughs.
Asd and adhd and odd.
Fed Well and has even said it’s not because she’s hungry. Tried not buying the thing but then just takes something else.
Raised them since babies and I have explained the consequences of stealing and how it affects herself and the family and money I’m the house. Every night and no matter how big the consequences doesn’t seem to care.
I don’t take it personally and I know it’s impulses but it’s not making it easier and I do get angry as there’s never a day.
She argues and yells over me.
Won’t follow a visual timer and just still does what she’s wants when she wants and if time runs out she doesn’t care and just cries and asks for another chance.
She doesn’t care about deferents or extra chores.
I’ve even tried to show her how it feels by taking stuff from her room and then ask her how does ot feel to have it done to you. She’s upset for 5 mins and then just back to normal laughing and not listening or even trying really to do what is asked.
Brother has same diagnosis but you see him trying to get ready and do things and not get distracted etc and he doesn’t steal at all.
You can sss he wants to do the right thing and I reward him for his effort but I’m at a loss as what to do with the 10ur old.
No consequence or rewards seem to work on any way .
Two nights ago she got up and cut holes in all her sheets. Her behaviour is actually getting worse with age. I refuse to lock all my cupboards for her not to steal. I’ve found entire packets of biscuits stolen and hidden in her bed and melted icy poles all through her bed
Quite often she doesn’t even try to hide it and it’s just sitting She knows its wrong.
Doesn’t care.
We are going through a hard time financially and I go without to. It them special treats.
Last night an entire 1l chocolate custard was taken eaten and is now all through her sheets and onto mattress and now nobody else gets any. Only caught her doing the same thing 3 nights ago with the chocolate custard and bought some more as my son was very upset he didn’t get any and I told her if she steals anything tonight I will be removing everything from her room and she said yes I don’t want that but still did it.
I’m at a loss
No reward or consequences work she just does what she wants and when she wants to

[debleeann]

I don’t have proof she stole but i am suspicious.So i’m not sure how to address it.she is 15.
i don’t think it’s for attention
it’s because she wants the stuff and doesn’t want to spend the money on it.

My issue:
I came home yesterday and found out that my 12 years old bonus daughter had stolen 150USD from my wallet under the table.. we told her that it's not okay to steal and it's a felony. She returned the money and gave an apology. We told her that we are not angry as much as dissapointed about it. And gave her house arrest the next 3 month's. Is there something i could do better or different? Thanks in advance
