Why did I steel my daughters babysitting money and lied about it?

Question

I didn't want her to know I stole it to go out with a couple of my friends.

Answer 1

I'd put it back real quick.  You don't want your daughter to learn that stealing is ok and she will if she tries to follow your example.

Answer 2

fisrt of all you shouldn't og lied about stealing the money.

she's your daughter and you should be the adult not the teen.

um.. get the money that you owe her and tell her what happened and tell he that you're very sorry and just don't do it again!!! please! that's really messed up.

next time just ask for it.

Answer 3

i dont know...maybe you really needed it and u knew she wasnt goin 2 lend u....but u need 2 ask urself

Answer 4

u have a problem. u shood not steal ur kids stuff. go make ur own money if u want to go out with ur friends

Answer 5

wow, that's horrible! I can't imagine doing that. If you can do that to your kid you've got some morality issues. You should give her back the money ASAP. You don't want her to think this kind of behavior is okay.

Answer 6

that is a question you need to ask yourself. And maybe you have a partying prob if you steal from ur kid to go out with ur friends!

Answer 7

um.... well just tell her that you will pay her back with a shopping spree or a sleepover party with her friends... or uh... reward her with something...

my mom steals my stuff all the time and then blames me...

she says that she will take credit for all the therapy.

Answer 8

Because you have issues.  Was going out with your friends that important that you couldn't wait til you had money of your own, you had to steal it from your daughter?  I have no sympathy for you, what you did was wrong and selfish.  I have never heard of a mother stealing money from their kids to go hang out with their friends.  I hope you feel horrible about it.

Answer 9

OK let me tell u something!!! What the h**l were you thinking. What that it was okay!!! Well no, it isn't and wasn't because she  earned her money. And i know how it feels to take care of a kid that never stops crying!! but i Handel it!! What if that happened to her and you go and take the money that she earned!! You should tell her AND PAY HER BACK. THAT IS NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE!!!!!! i am an ant and i want to have a kid when I'm older But let me tell u this mama!!! I would NEVER STEEL MONEY FROM MY OWN CHILD!!! What kind of parent are u!!! i sud jest that u tell her and pay her back!!! cause that was hard earned money miss!!! thank you for reading i just had to tell u how i felt about that!!! I've seen other people that did what u did and didn't do anything about it!! because they didn't care!!! SO PAY HER BACK!!!!!

Answer 10

I agree!, and if you have to steal from your children to go out for yourself, you have some underlying issues you need help with!
