I mentioned a few posts back that the word steal was harsh. I regret the use of that word. I posted about this whole thing very soon after it had happened hence my emotion and overreaction. So yes, to answer your question. I can see that.

What happened has been constructively discussed at home and both my son and I have made peace with the situation.

I am also trying to make peace with my overreaction. Whatever the reasons are that I felt so hurt are my own after all and have nothing to do with my son.

My son is perfectly healthy. What he did was simple. He wanted the sweet and didn't want to wait. So despite being early, he took it. It has nothing to do with diabetes, being underfed, being hungry or any other such thing.

This is a normal thing that happens to families everywhere. I am sure many other mothers are also guilty of overreacting to things kids do. Family therapy is not required.

I thank everybody for their support on this however I am starting to regret that I ever posted this.

I consider this thread closed.
