[quote=Anonymous]I think what the kid did was not all that unusual but that doesn't mean it's not wrong and should go unpunished. I think breaking OP's trust is a normal response too. So I would tell my DC that they have broken my trust and it will take a long time to earn it back. I hope that would make a difference to them. I would explain that lying and stealing are wrong, that they get punished twice -- once for the deed and once for the lying, how lying hurts everyone even the liar, blah blah blah. And then I would also punish normally -- by taking away privileges. OP, I would be really, really hurt if my DC did this. Try to remember that your DC is a kid, not an adult. It's not like your DH took something from you and lied about it. Your DC is still learning about life.[/quote]
