Okies in the BYC The Original

[smfamf]

I need some advice on a personal situation. What should I do when I find out someone is stealing from me? Let's just say, as far as things go right now, Jordan will not be getting anything for his birthday.

The problem I am having is that this week is Spring Break and he will be spending quite a bit of time at the house alone because my husband and I both have to work. I just can't trust him anymore and it scares me to leave him here. I have nobody to watch the kids since my FIL passed away. He was our babysitter. He was the only family we have here and all our friends have to work.

wow, sorry you are having to deal with that.

time to sit him down and have a good long talk about everything. Explain the consequences and follow through to the letter. It is very hard to reestablish trust once something like that has happened. If the behavior continues there is always bootcamp!

you may have to look into hiring a babysitter or find a place he can stay at. Some churches have youth programs going on and you don't usually have to be a member.

Shavon - Is a hurt that is hard to swallow. There
are no "magical" answers. Years ago there was
a song and a movie, "Bless the Beasts and The
Children"..........

Am sure you're aware we're going through a
rough time with Kendra. She is still with her
biological mother. But, she is flirting with 17
now. It's high time she "own" her decisions.

Will keep you guys in our prayers,

He has stolen from us in the past. It has been a couple of years ago. We had a serious talk with him, then. He has been to boot camp in the past. I have found someone to keep them on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I should be off on Tuesday and Thursday. I don't know what to do past today. We have tried talking with him and nothing seems to work. Now my four-year old is picking up on his attitude and has decided to become seriously defiant. Hopefully some tough love will straighten her out quickly.​

I am just getting back in-

Shavon- the only thing i can add to what others have said- is parenting isn't easy and in hind site, wish i'd used more tough love on my daughter- each case is different, any will be approached differently, take it a day at a time and know we all will be praying for you!

no you didnt.... Some days are just slow as we do still love to play with the chickens.. ;o)
Im sorry to hear about your problems. My oldest daughter is 14. She spends time with our Aunt Judy in ohio thats a Nun. She has two horse and shows sheep. She cleans the chickens and cares for her sisters. She works for our company for her own cash.She sometimes has a smart mouth but I try to understand where she is right now. One day at a time I guess and only you know whats right for your family. I like to keep in mind that nothing last forever and this moment will pass.We will also keep you in our prayers.
