[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 363789, member: 1233"] I hadn't thought of difficult child's reaction. It would probably damage difficult child's relationship with both you and easy child if easy child was not held accountable for shoplifting. It IS a crime and if you allow easy child to get away with it then difficult child will always wonder why it was so awful for her to break the law but easy child is allowed to break the law. That is the message that you will send to easy child and difficult child - that difficult child is terrible for breaking the law and you will come down on her like thunder but you think it is fine for easy child to break the law. When we are in the middle of the tornado that is life in gfgland it can be hard to see the message we are truly sending to the kids. It is one reason why this forum is so amazing. It helps us cope with both the forest and the trees. [/QUOTE]
