[quote=Anonymous]Probably it is your 15-year-old. I am not saying this is not a serious matter -- but, I wouldn't take it personally (you said that you feel hurt). It was naive to leave the folder in the living room. I would not leave any cash out from now on. I would also think about whether your son disagreed about the times that you felt he did not walk the dog long enough. It's not that uncommon to rebel at this age. I would want to keep the lines of communication open, so I wouldn't either ask or accuse. I would simply tell him that taking your money is stealing, reiterate that stealing is wrong, and leave it at that. Teens do some bad stuff. That's not okay; still, it really is better to keep the lines of communication open, because you can't control him completely any more. This is from the mother of two young adults -- and the very close friend of someone whose 22-year-old son died of a drug overdose recently.[/quote]
