[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what do you want us to say? That your child behaved v wrongly etc etc. ? You already know that. In the heat of the moment, I may have done the same as you (except the spanking) but, with hindsight, he deserves to be heard, to be told you love him whatever but that you are disappointed and tou tell him how he can put it right. The chance of putting it right is the most important thing here. Otherwise he will just feel shame and worthlessness. [/quote]

I think what OP wants us to say is that it will be OK. And it will. It can be very disappointing -- and scary -- when a child of this age (who obviously know right from wrong) does something like this. OP, I think you and DH handled it perfectly. I think he got the message. You still love him but what he did was wrong, wrong, wrong and he best never do it again. He's a kid. He messed up, in the confines of his family, where we are supposed to learn lessons like this.

Let it go. He'll be fine and so will you. You sound like great parents.[/quote]
