I really don't know what to put!  Some of you know about the problems I'm having with ds2! Well it's turning out to be more of a problem than I thought!

Dh and I always put the boys dinner money on the table so we remember to give it to them and they remember to grab it f we're up late!  Monday night we put £2 each for the boys on the table and ds2 took both lots, we think it was because ds1 was making himself sandwiches! and he obviously thought he wasn't gonna get caught!  Ds1 forgot his lunch so ended up going to the school office to get some money, when I questioned him, he said he hadn't seen any money on the top!

It turns out ds2 had taken both lots, and has denied all knowledge of having it!  It is nowhere to be found, and I was the first person up after the boys so I know it wasn't dd, and ds1 couldn't lie if his life depended on it!  I spoke to ds2 this morning with just the 2 of us here, and although he hasn't admitted it, I pointed out the fact that I know he's taken it I'm more disappointed that he has blatantly lied to me.  I could see in his face that he has taken it, why can he not just tell me?

I'm really lost as to what to do now!  He just doesn't seem to care anymore!

I have to admit to doing this once as a child - I took a note out of my daddys wallet. He new what had happened and they told me how dissapointed they were with me. I was so gutted I never did it again. He's pushing his boundrys - as all kids do. Punish him for it and hopefully he wont do it again.

I dont think he doesnt care - the look on his face showed he did.

I hope it gets sorted hun, I'm no expert I'm afraid.

Thanks Madz!  I just have no idea how to punish him!  Nothing seems to work at all with this one!  Personally I just think put his head through a wall! But I know that won't solve anything! lol although it might make the walls look nicer!

I have to keep my sense of humour or I'd have killed him by now!
