well.. speaking of stealing.. i stole condoms from my parents room when i was gona fuck.. and occasionally ill take a few bucks from my mothers purse.
i can remeber stealin candy when i was like 7 or 8, but only did it a few times, stealin from my family-NEVER...
Stealing candy at 7 seems like pretty normal behavior to me. Growing up and out of it like you is what a parent wishes for. But, older son is still exhibiting this behavior at 15 and it just seems like an emergency issue to me, but the constant denial when faced with evidence of the truth is what really scares me. Maturity is being able to admit your mistakes (we are all human, right?) and he has never done this, ever! What to do is the constant question. Thanks for all your input and the message of hope, Lodui.
I might be way off topic kinda, but I'm replying to the first post... I wouldn't steal something like that, HELL NO! That's someone's christmas, you don't fuck with that shit. Really, that's dumb. I also wouldn't steal from my family and friends...well no. I'd really ask first 'cause I wouldn't feel right... I only steal every now and then and it's stupid things like candy or a lighter.
