[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid stole and the one who admitted to opening the drawers is likely the culprit.

I would return the amount stolen and make bkth biys cover it.

I remember learning lessons as a kid  such as don't touch other people's wallets, purses etc because if something comes up missing you will be the first person they blame. Why was he in their drawers?  Teach your kids some boundaries. [/quote]

I feel like this is one of those things that you don’t know you have to teach a kid until they’ve done it. I’ve never talked to my kids about not opening drawers at other peoples houses. It would never occur to me that that’s something they would do. I’ve talked to them generally about not touching things that aren’t theirs, I guess hopefully they’ll apply that to multiple situations. But they’ve certainly both surprised me with things that they’ve done because they didn’t apply specific lessons in a different context, or because they did something that I never thought of.

I always have to remind mine to say thank you and please, all that.   But they’ve used good judgment on how to act depending on who they are with.  They have a very casual grandma and two grandparents who are a little stuffy.  They love them all equally but they would never even go into their grandparents bedroom but are fine going into the grandma’s bedroom.  They knew how to read a room very early on.  [/quote]
