[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 604507, member: 6546"] Hello and welcome! It sounds to me as though you have bought in to the theory that everything bad that happens to your daughter is YOUR fault, and not the result of her own choices. The only possible motivation behind willingly taking a large financial (and perhaps emotional if the watch had sentimental value) loss is an attempt to protect your child from the consequences of her own selfishness. Why are you willing to be a victim here? Your daughter CHOSE to steal. This was not your decision - she certainly didn't check with you or consider your feelings beforehand...and yet, here you are considering HER feelings if she is reported for the crime. Obviously, it is your decision to make - but each time you let it slide....you have made it OK. No harm - no foul. Steal $500 cash? - ok, no problem. Steal $1500 coin? - ok, no problem. Steal $3500 watch? - At what point will you decide it's not ok? [/QUOTE]
