I found your site through Becca's --you're daughter is adorable even if she is in trouble. My mom had the hardest time punishing me because instead of watching TV or playing like normal kids I'd rather read. :-x Just wanted to say hi :) Hi!

It lasted until about Jr. High and I still haven't heard the end of it. Even know I know my Mom questions everything I say, though that has subsisted considerably in the last week with the iPod thing and there being vidoe evidence that I didn't, infact, leave it sitting on a desk somewhere. That is what worked on me. Being told and told and told and told that if I kept it up, she'd never be able to trust me. That killed me and it still breaks my heart to see that look on Mom's face, though, honestly, I had really thought she'd have gotten over it by now. I, too, was a little liar at about that stage.

Then it was telling the class to please pray for the bear that when I woke up after hearing a gunshot, was lying in the back yard with a shotgun next to it. Poor teacher.... The theft part was whenever we went to Safeway, I'd leave with a cute little toy, I remember the little fuzzy "Best Secretary" Bears. It was when we were leaving a salon my mom had gone to, and the stylist came stomping out yelling at me that I was a thief and taking back her Vanity Smurf I'd snatched... that was when I felt humiliated and changed my ways. I was BUSTED and never wanted to feel that way again. That's the tough part about being a parent, but you're doing the right thing by enforcing what's right and wrong as much as it pains you.

I think he's finally getting the idea that maybe he shouldn't lie after he spent a whole week in his room with no toys, computer, or tv and then lied right after he got ungrounded and spent another week of no toys, computer, or tv.
