If you reread through my posts, you'll see that I do not advocate throwing her to the wolves without thought. I advocate confronting her.
If it were my daughter, I would confront her. If she admitted to it and was remorseful, I would probably forgive the debt but would let her know that it will take some work on her part to regain my trust in her.
If I confronted her and she denied it, I would get whatever proof I needed from the bank and would confront her a second time. In my eyes, she would have no choice now but to admit it. I'd make her repay the money in a way she was able to and would have a hard time trusting her for quite some time afterward.
If she remained defiant even after that 2nd confrontation, I would take it up with the bank and let her sink or swim on her own accord.
It's called teaching accountability. It's what precious few parents do these days and people wonder why the world is as screwed up as it is. :roll:
Twilight Flyer you mean to tell me you would let you daughter become a felon for taking $250 from you. LOLOriginally Posted by Twilight Flyer
A parent should parent, not try to score points or look for the easiest route. Sometimes the difficult paths are the best teachers. If you reread through my posts, you'll see that I do not advocate throwing her to the wolves without thought. I advocate confronting her.
