[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d high five my kid for her ground score and move on with my day[/quote]

My kid found an item in a grocery store cart that someone clearly left behind. She wanted to take it into the store and turn it in. So  we did that and I high fived her for doing the right thing. Not her "score" of someone's loss being her gain. If OP felt the need to crowd source this, it's because she knows her daughter didn't do the right thing.[/quote]

I'm glad you are proud of your kid for her actions! Every family is different. Sustainability is very important to our family and we try to instill those values into our kids.  I would be proud of my daughter for being willing to use a perfectly good used water bottle, and most likely saving it from the landfill. The likelihood of it being eventually trashed vs making it back to the owner is pretty high. If she had been in the other position--set her water bottle down and couldn't find it again--I would be disappointed in her for not taking better care of her things or even putting her phone number on her water bottle so it could be easily returned, knowing it would probably get thrown away. She would not get a new one. She could buy one with her own money from Goodwill or similar. And I would definitely be happy knowing some other kid picked hers up and put it to good use after she was so careless. It's a water bottle, not a precious heirloom.

My kids have lost water bottles and almost always found them at the lost and found at school, gyms, and other activities. It happens. I think one one time has one been permanently missing. I'm glad we live in the type of community where people good choices.[/quote]
