Oh hun I can imagine why you feel the way you do about this, but the fact that you feel so strongly about what your DD did makes you a great mum .
I only have one child (so far) and he's only two, but I've thought for a long time that it must only get harder as they get older. For now, yes we have hard times, but at the end of the day, DS is with me (or another responsible adult) at all times, and we make the decisions. Well, the important ones anyway. I think about what it must be like to have a teenager, and the worry and stress that must come with it.......man, I'm sure I will go grey then, if I haven't already! The lack of control must be very hard to take at times, when you're watching your beloved child do things, and make decisions, that you're not always happy with. Even if your kids are 'good' there's still always something to worry about.
I'm sorry I don't have any useful words. But I just want to let you know that I think you're a great mum
It is hard. School is the hardest hurdle I think we've had with DD1 so far. Doesn't help that she's extremely oppinionated, pig headed & stubborn! Lol!
You are doing great. These things happen. She's only little & still learning. DD has come home a few times with little charms & things & I've been suss only to find out that so & so actually did give it to her.
I'd send her to school with it the next day & ask her to give it back. Ask how she'd feel if she took a toy or something & someone took it home with them & didn't tell her. Use the name of a friend, coz I think its more a reality check when they think of a particular person doing it. Maybe the person that the item belonged to that she took?
Thats what I think I'd do, but I haven't been faced with this issue yet.
