[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 459822, member: 1514"] Im with the odds are on the fact that if this is normally a pretty normal kid that it was an attention getting tactic or he simply wanted the money and didnt think you would notice. Typical kid thing. Sometimes us parents with difficult child's tend to see difficult child behaviors under every stone. I think the grounding should be for lying to you about how he got the money and then he should be made to pay you back for the money. He stole $20 and even though you took it back...Im assuming...he now needs to earn the money by doing chores around the house to make another $20 to show how hard it is to earn that $20. I wouldnt pay him minimum wage either...lol. I would make the chart on the fridge with maybe 5 good chores on it...at 11 he can do things like clean the bathroom, wash the dogs, scrub out the trash cans, rake or mow the yard. I dont know just thinking. But make them chores that would last about an hour or so each. [/QUOTE]
