Any idea why our kids steal and then deny doing it? No boundaries?

[QUOTE="Methuselah, post: 545612, member: 12725"] I don't know why my difficult children steal. As I have written before, difficult child 2 is a master thief. We hauled her from expert to expert who each diagnosed or theorized a different reason she steals, each one more expensive than the last. The only consistent reason came from her: I wanted it, so I took it. With my difficult children, it isn't impulsive nor compulsive. It is a very thought out decision. They are patient and will wait for the most opportune time to take it with the least chance of getting caught. I keep my purse in a safe and my easy child's have locked boxed to keep their things in. They have no remorse, guilt nor shame. Punishments do not stop the behavior; it just hones it. They learn not to do it that way the next time. I'm a policeman and a warden more than a parent. I'm tired of it all. If someone knows why, I would love to hear it. All I know is if they want something you have, lock it up. Twice. [/QUOTE]
