[QUOTE="nvts, post: 115143, member: 3814"] I love it when you're trying to do the right thing and it gets undermined. difficult child 3 was 4 and stole a lollipop at the dollar store. To make the point that what she did was wrong, I walked her right back into the store and made her tell the clerk that she took it without paying for it. I know it sounds mean to make a 4 year old do this, but I don't want her to think that she's entitled to things without asking. The store clerk told her she's a beautiful little girl and she could go ahead and keep it. When I insisted that she pay for it, the woman behind me ALSO told her how beautiful she was and wanted to pay for it so it wouldn't come out of her "allowance". Unbelievable. Keeping you in my thoughts, Beth [/QUOTE]
