[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spanking is a humiliating and ridiculous practice that will only cause a rift between you and your children. Your child will always remember that moment, especially at age ten, but not in the way you might want him to...[/quote]

Umm, the rift was formed when the child stole money from a parent and expressed no regret. Kid better remember the consequence. And the rift will be much greater when the kid winds up in prison.

+1. Seriously.

I do, however, agree with the PP who said that children can feel anxiety about worsening financial circumstances. I was the same age when my family's fortunes took a nosedive, and I remember very well the stress (my parents' and my own), the embarrassment, and the loss of what we were used to. Stealing may be his way of acting this out.

As for fibbing about the food, meh. Don't kids lie about that stuff all the time, or feed it to the dog if they possibly can?

OP, there was an article in the NYT a few weeks ago called "Raising a Moral Child." Hope it helps!
