Update on my stepson/the stolen 20$

[merrybaker]

Just wanted to share that he arrived this visit with the 20$ he stole and he even said he was sorry ..Now we are still working off his 15 hours of chores!! I told him I was proud of him !! and we hugged . Oh I hope this has some impact on him !!!

Glad to hear this, Mary. Hopefully he will not do it again!

Mary,

you must have made some impact for him to repay and apologize. i think its great how you are handling it as well, by letting him know you are proud he was truthful but make him understand that he still has to do "his time" by working off with chores. if parents that live in this complex could learn a thing or two from your ways, their kids would be more respectful. hopefully he will learn from this as well.

I'm glad to hear there was a "happy" ending as it was obviously weighing heavy on your mind. I think you handled it really well and I think he learned a big lesson.

Mary,

I'm so glad you've had some resolution. I think you handled it really well. You're a very good stepmom and he's lucky to have you. I think the 15 hours of chores will help restore his self respect.

I remember your original post.
