[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This is within the range of normal teen (bad) behavior. [/b]She needs to have an appropriate consequence (like working off all the debt and holding her to it), but I really think it's bad idea to label her a criminal or pile on the shame. For what it's worth, I definitely ordered stuff from my parents' Amazon in college and hoped they wouldn't notice. Sometimes they did, and I'd pay them back. I reject that this made me a horrible person. [/quote] No, it’s not. $20 from mom’s purse warrants a conversation. More than $20 warrants a consequence. $2k is a big, big deal. Way beyond normal. OP is right to be worried about her child’s character development. I’d never do that to my parents. OP, good parenting isn’t so much about what your child does. Good parenting is about how you respond. You are under responding. You can tell that you are under responding because your DD sends unaffected by the consequences. [/quote]
