Hi all
Bit of a situation with my eldest - turning 16 tomorrow...
He has owned up to stealing money from my savings account (thought I had lost my ATM card) for the past year. Had he not been greedy I would never have noticed the odd £10 but he chose to take £100 at a time in the last two months and that was what bust him.
Anyway - major remourse but now I am stuck with what to do for his birthday tomorrow. Initially I had intended buying him a snazzy camera but I wont now. Do I buy him anything or do I allow him to have a day off his grounding period? HELP - the money situation is all resolved and the reason for stealing was pure oportunistic.
I am still quite angry with him and don't really feel I should be presured into buying him something simply because he is turning 16... any suggestions?:anyone:
