[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 427012, member: 6546"] Allan-- This is a good policy, [I]to a point[/I]... It's very hard to reconcile when a person's (not just a child) track record is not very good. IOW - when the same problems arise over and over....how does one continue to give the benefit of the doubt? For example, a child comes home with money and a suspicious story. OK - first time, benefit of the doubt....we trust that the child really did find $5 on the bus. Second time, the story is a little harder to believe. We discuss, but are having trouble believing that the child found another $5. Third time, I do NOT believe the child simply found another $5 on the bus - so then what? [/QUOTE]
