i had a pretty good scam going. my dad would be leaving for work just as i got up for school. i would catch him on the way out and hit him up for "lunch money". he'd kick me money then head off to work. an hour later when i was heading out the door for school i would hit up my mom for lunch money. i was buying gum on the way to school and reselling it on the playground. i ended up in the hole because i kept chewing all the profit. i had to get a "credit" in the office for lunch one day. the credit tag was sent home to be paid. my mom was confused because she knew she gave me lunch money. dad said "wait, i give him lunch money". ut oh!! i was put on restriction. i had been out picking mistletoe with my little girlfriend the afternoon just before all this hit the fan. she was having a BIG christmas party. ALL the cool kids would be there. not me. the worst part was trying to explain to the girlfriend why i couldn't make it to her party. "because of lunch money?" i lost the girl. never stole money again.

A friend found out that the money stolen from him was for a gift for his sons girlfriend....when the girl came by one day he says to her in front of his son.."How do you like the gift my son stole money to buy ?" He damned near died of shame..
But it apparently worked...he never got ripped off again..

Stealing.....That's what were talking about here.
Stealing money from your parents leads to bigger and worse things. Then eventually kids serve jail time.
That speel reminds me of the government sponsored garbage that was on tv in the 1970's.

Substitute the word Stealing for the word Marijuana & the word Jail for the word Heroin & here's what you get.

Marijuana.........Thats what were talking about here.Marijuana leads to bigger & worse things,eventually kids end up hooked on Heroin.

Give a kid a fish & he'll be a fat ass,teach a kid to fish & he'll be a fishin mofo :blsmoke:

To be fair hes only 8 so he wont fully understand morals yet.

Just sit him down and tell him how it is wrong - and how his mother worked very very hard for that money.

And if he wants money in future - to tell you straight away or he will be punished.

Does he know that you know and that you're waiting for him to come clean to Mom, 40A? I had a REAL problem with my youngest son stealing, for YEARS. He was absolutely not the kind of kid one could "beat" anything into (despite all those kind folks who suggested that was the methodology I lacked with him, so kind of them). Each child IS an individual, no one method works all the time, again, in my own experience. Guilt will never work with my oldest son because of his autism, consequences are it. However, guilt my youngest boy..? Oh MAN, that does get him. While he stole from family, he would literally give away all his toys if a kid told him they didn't have any. I would have to search his backpack every day, otherwise brand new toys were going to one kid or another. My nephew is another one who's easy to guilt, but only to a point.

Anyway.. it's a tough situation. Masturbation and reproduction are FAR easier to deal with, in my experience. :lol: :|

You truly are a Jackass, aren't ya?
You isolate me from the rest of everyone, when there has been people making posts about beating him, opening up a can of whoop ass, etc.

If you read my first post again, Jackass. You'll read that I made a suggestion to take privledges away rather than beating him.

Your speel reminds me of the neighborhood Jackass who has make everyone around him uncomfortable by being negative and a Know it all.

Calm down people... beat the 8 year old....hehehe.. I know that now a days the people have done a great job putting it into our heads that spanking your kid is bad Umk....

Im sure that there are some kids out there that guilt works best.... But i have to tell you something ... when you make your child always feel bad about what he does...and feels he wants to do... then you open a whole can of shit... talk about psychological problems.. you start feeling like a looser... dont you memeber back in school.... the nerdy ones that would cry if you told them they were short or fat or skinny..or ugly or whatever had a very low self esteem... anybody was superior than him in status whenever they wanted and they boy never stood up....

I did get my ass whooped...and my mom was able to guilt me into stuff all the time... And there was a bunch of times that i was going to do something "worse" and i said F*&k that.... See when you put your kids a clear line on the sand ...and its a true one....they will make the decision to stay by your side...or go to the dark...hehehe... ok too medicated....

I dunno.. all im saying is that there is a shit load of pussy ass kids these days.... and if you guilt your child all his life it wont be much better.... plus he wont be able to take it when he first feels pain from someone.... Dont know if this makes sense or not... and im not saying that always beating the child is the way... Explain to him how he would feel if his little buddy stole his lego's ... would he want to kick him in the head?/ what about if they stole your families life....??? this you give as an example to emphasize the worst feeling of disgust to a human being and then he might understand how the rest of the world would look at him being a theif. good luck

the one time i stole from my dad he stole from me in retaliation.. i came home and the only thing in my room was a mattress, a sheet and 1 change of clothes.

i stole $20.. he sold me everything back for $100. the $20 i had taken from him and $80 more i worked off. the last $20 i made by sweeping the sun off the sidewalk.. you know how long it takes to sweep the sun off the sidewalk!??!

8 years old and stealing already. You better get on that shit right away.
You can tell a kid that stealing is wrong, but kids usually learn from suffering the consequences.
My advice if your not into corporal punishment.

No T.V. games, going outside, anything fun for 3 days minimum. Plus, a writing assignment "I will never steal again" 500 times, which should keep him busy for next 3 days.
I was never spanked growing up, and I know a few people who were beaten mercilessly when they were kids ... but I think there's a happy medium somewhere. Once in awhile, I think kids need to have some sense knocked into 'em. However, that can get you sent to prison ... so BongJuice's suggestion is a great one!

I'd have him do some heavy duty cleaning, too.

i think it depend on the kid cuz wen i ws younger i didnt give a fluk bout punishments n it just made me mad at my parents. Obviously the answer is not to never punish to keep him happy but hes your son so u obviously no him way better than me. Sorry but its kinda hard to help u out other than to say to do wut u think is best. Good luk

Great story. I bet it worked.

Maybe if you showed your boy the end result of going down that road. Tour the county jail. See if you know of a criminal defense attorney who could explain the legal consequences. Read Crime and Punishment with him.

Best of luck to both of you.

Yes. I have to agree here. I don't have kids BUT I do know that taking away his priviledges is going to work more than the whopp ass. The beating he WILL remember BUT it also might backfire in your face and he might become more rebellious too

Children need to learn with discipline,and sometimes that means physically.
I don't get why people are so opposed to spankings? I was spanked, and I think I turned out pretty good. All the rebellious kids I know were the ones who got time out. What's a little room time compared to getting your ass
whooped? If I had the choice I would have taken the room time. If you're into spankings i'd say give him one, and when everyone has calmed down tell him WHY you did it. Explain to him it was wrong, and if he does it again, he will get the same treatment. He'll get the point.
