My mom caught me stealing money. What do I do?
So my mom and I don't have a very good relationship at the moment, but this made it worse. Today, we were supposed to go to dinner and stuff to see where we stood, I guess. I'm 16, and I don't have a job, and with the holidays approaching, I needed money to buy presents. My mom doesn't live in the same household anymore, but she left an old wallet downstairs filled with $100. She never checked it or anything. It just sat there. I took $60, and I was going to replace it after Christmas with the money that I received from family. I was hoping that she wouldn't find out before I could put the money back, but today, when she came here to take me to dinner, she discovered the missing money and left before I got home from school. I've never stolen anything in my life before this, and despite it being bad, I was doing it for a good cause. No one would lend me money, so I became desperate. I thought of it as a "secret temporary loan". I know it wasn't right to steal, but... Please help me...
What do I do after stealing from my parents?
Ask yourself why you did it.Stealing from your parents isn’t necessarily bad.If they deliberately starved you and you stole the money to buy yourself dinner then it’s actually good.But if you stole from them for the sake of your own ego, then it’s bad.Not all parents are good people, many parents are wicked, and wicked people can do some very extreme things. We may be forced to do extreme things to look after ourselves in the presence of wicked people.The meme going around that parents can only love their children, that they can only want what’s for the best for their children, or that they have unconditional love for their children because it’s instinctive and therefore automatic has to stop. Only retards buy into that meme.Retards deliberately blind themselves to the many monthly instances where they witness with their very own eyes parents being cruel and sadistic towards their own kids.Retards service evil with lies.
My parents caught me stealing money?
You shouldn't have spent his money in the first place because that if very unfair considering you got money also. I don't classify what you did as a mistake, it's more of a choice. But blaming wouldn't do anything here and I don't know you so who am I to judge? You should tell your parents the truth and work your way to paying your brother the money and apologize to him for it. They may loose their trust in you but you will have to be responsible for gaining their trust by proving that you will never steal from them again. Good luck.
I STEAL MONEY FROM MY PARENTS ALOT WHAT DO I Do? :\?
ok. stealing is a normal thing that people do. sounds like a wierd perspective, but its true. but you shouldnt steal from family because you will alienate people who care about you and they will think that you are on drugs and blame your friends and tell you that you cant go see them and whatever. so if you are gonna steal, steal from someone that you dont care about and do everything in your power not to get in trouble. that includes running in some situations. and how to stop? just dont do it anymore. if you do that and they dont notice then cool everything is fixed and no problems and best of all, you fixed it yourself with nobody having to give you sht. but the best thing to do is to not steal at all. but family is way more important than everybody else.
What do I do if I caught my brother stealing my money?
Well, your short-term problem will be over in two weeks when he goes into the Army. In the meantime, I don't see the benefit of confronting him at this point. He will only deny it and you will not get your money or items back. For now you need to secure all your valuables for the next two weeks. If you cannot lock your room, get a lockbox that can be attached to the wall. Or ask a trusted friend to hold your things for a couple of weeks. I know many people whose lives were straightened out by the discipline they learned in the service. Hopefully your brother will be one of them. But don't assume he has changed when he comes home on leave or after his service. Secure your belongings for a while until he can show if he is a changed man. Growing up, one of my sisters went through a phase of taking my belongings. I put a lock on my door and my mother complained. I told her I would take it down if she would stop my sister from stealing my things. The lock stayed on.
How do I confess to my parents that I steal money from them?
I'm 15 and my parents work really hard for me. They don't pressure me to have good grades or anything, they're the most caring parents you can ask for. Hence, please insult me as much as you want because I know I don't deserve any sympathy at all. When I was 8, I 'stole' a few coins from them to buy lunch, and I obviously got caught and my parents yelled at me. It's easy to say that I haven't learnt at all. I have a job of which I earn $5 p/hour, but it's never enough. All I do is spend. Time to time I find myself sneaking a $50 note out of my mother's wallet to waste on stupid things. By now I've probably stolen over $2000 and I somehow got away with it. it's come to the point where I legitimately feel like the worst child anyone could have. I plan to stop for good, but I still feel guilty. I thought about confessing but I'm scared of the things they'd do to me, and I can't bear the thought of how upset they'd be, because I know they try their best to raise me well. The damage has been done and I don't know what to do.
I caught my 14 year old child stealing money from our family. How should I handle this?
When I was a bit younger than her, I had the same problem as her. I used to steal from my family and they never found out. Then through peer pressure, I started shoplifting from the school cafeteria and the local supermarket. I was one of the biggest liars I knew since I had a strange tendency to steal ever since I was young.I continued this for a really long time (around 3–4 months) and nothing bad ever happened. That was until my head of secondary came in my classroom and the next thing I knew was that I was suspended.I didn’t learn how big this had become until the cafeteria lady told me that the total amount of stolen resulted in around more than 55 dollars. Where I live, that’s a lot.That happened around 2 years ago, and ever since, I haven’t even dared to steal because the consequences can be really big. I don’t think just talking to your daughter will help because my mum did that a lot when she found out before the whole canteen fiasco.You need to show her what the consequences are and maybe even think of some punishments. I’m not trying to be mean but I know that if my mum had done that, I could’ve avoided a lot of trouble, drama and a bad mark on my permanent record.I’m 15 now and I understand why she would want to steal. My parents never gave me a lot of pocket money and I saved all that I had. But the thought of getting something that was technically free was too alluring for me and I felt that no one would mind at all.But others do mind but that’s not the biggest thing. She needs to know that it’s tainting her own self and conscience. I never used to feel guilty until I talked to the lunch lady and heard how it was affecting her own personal life.I would recommend giving her oppurtunites to get the money that she feels that she needs to steal through chores and maybe even a part-time or summer job. Those things would’ve helped me a lot during that time of my life.Good luck and I hope this helps.
Have you ever been caught stealing?
I’m still a bit too ashamed to admit it, so I’ll go anonymous.I was 22, and I had plenty of money. But, since we grew up poor, I felt like I couldn’t pay for stuff. I also liked the thrill of stealing. So, I shoplifted almost daily. For the most part I took things I felt were overpriced, and I wouldn’t want to pay for it.Things I stole:socks and silk ties (small, easy to fold and put in your pockets). I must have had a rack with at least 30 silk ties at home.batteries (small and expensive).books. One time I came in with a suitcase, loaded it up with the books I wanted to read, and walked out again.I got careless. So, one time I was just putting stuff in my pockets without even thinking. As I approached the doors to exit, a large man looked me in the eye and made a hand gesture to wait. I didn’t. I ran outside, my pockets flinging from all the stolen stuff (batteries, and some other small stuff).He came after me, running. I was very fit at the time, and I could have easily outran him. However, my long coat and my heavy pockets kept me from gaining speed. I was thinking what to do: lose the stuff and outrun him, or let myself get caught.Then I thought: well, how bad can it be, I give the stuff back and go on my way, just tell him you’re sorry or something (I was naive). I let him catch me. He told me to empty my pockets. If I were a bit smarter about the law, I’d simply have refused it, and ask him why he was following me, accusing him. But I wasn’t. He called the police, and I got arrested for shoplifting.Once at the station, they asked me to empty my pockets. Out came $20 of stolen merchandise, and my wallet, showing about $400. I was shocked myself, and thought why didn’t I just pay for this stuff?Ultimately, I did learn my lesson: if it’s overpriced, don’t buy it. Find something cheaper. Oh yeah, and don’t steal.
