Morning not out to the best start. Middle son caught sneaking and lying AGAIN! His dad is so very mad at him! WOW. Even i don’t ever make Dad that mad.
Yesterday I had oldest son give middle son three of his dollars in case it rained and they went bowling at church day camp. I come home and ask Erik (middle) what he did at camp. He lists it all and I say do you have the money left. Well…no we went bowling, I said, but it didn’t rain. No it sprinkled here. I buy it, I work in another town, so maybe.
This morning I hear hubby catching Erik sneaking things into his backpack. Pop and Candy. He says, where didy ou get that..It’s mine….so busted!!! I now know he lied about going bowling and took all the money and spent it at the church vending machine. he had numerous pops and candy. Plus he was senaking his CD player into the back, after last night we read the rules of camp and it said NO CD PLAYERS.
Needless to say middle son is in big trouble. He lies all the time and his dad is so upset with him I doubt he will be allowed to go to the block party. As for his candy and Pop, it was put in a bag and put in the garbage. The garbage man is coming down the street now to take it away.
It never pays to cheat and lie.
Hugs to ALL of you! Tough lesson for your son to learn. I don’t understand why kids lie. I guess they think they can get away with it. But I’ve always told my kids that once they lie, they have to keep making up lies to cover the other lies and pretty soon they forget what lies they’ve told and they eventually get caught. And I tell them if you do something wrong, yes, you’ll be disciplined, but if you lie to cover it up, the discipline will be twice as hard!
TOugh stuff hey? Hope the week gets better!
The woes of child rearing! I remember when I lied about something big when I was 5 yrs. old. I got in so much trouble and that taught me a big lesson!
