Dont be too hard on yourself.... We all do things at the time what we feel is right. My son is nine, his younger sister gave him 27 euros for a game that I told him he couldnt have until Christmas.. He took the money from her and bought the game... I made him pay her back by emptying the dishwasher for 27 days... OK, I paid him 27 euros for doing that, but then made him give it back to his sister... I hope that he learnt a lesson from that.. It broke my heart to see him doing that every morning, but I stuck to my guns... And as for his sister, she couldnt quite understand the problem, she thought she was being kind to her brother... So I had to tackle that one too... So it seems life is full of lessons... Good luck with your son... x
