Z did not feel that an apology was necessary because it was "just a prank". I think eventually, under duress, she did apologize. But it was for A getting in trouble for "losing" her item, not for actually taking said item in the first place.

Well, I think B needs to make Z apologize to A for stealing and lying. Immediately.

This was a year ago and Z did give the item back to A, complete and intact.

But now we're discussing my methods of dealing with this situation. And I just wanted to get a second opinion as to whether calling these acts "stealing" and "lying" were harsh or not. I do not think they were, but the counselor (and others who shall remain nameless) do.

So did you say "Yea, I am harsh :shrug:" What is really wrong with being "harsh" if that is who you are?

Not saying you are "harsh" BTW.

It was stealing and lying, plain and simple. Tell them you not only gave up the rose colored glasses years ago but stomped them to bits. World's been pretty simple and upfront since. :coffee:

If it was done with malicious intent, I would say stealing and lying was appropriate. If it was done as a joke, I would tell the jokester that the other person did not appreciate it, and if you do it again, :buttkick:

My question is why the heck is Z going in your purse in the first place? That is a place that is 100% off limits to all my kids.

Second I'm wondering if your counselor is the one for you. Does she/he have children? If not then she/he really doesn't have a clue.

I don't find the words "stealing" or "lying" wrong in any way when it comes to your story.

My nephew's therapist called him just using my computer behind my back "stealing" because it was done without permission. Anything taken without permission is considered stealing in my book. Also, if story #1 isn't the truth then that is lying. As for jokes, the therapist said on that front that if it's not funny to both parties then it's not a joke.

I say "Yes, I am harsh" when I'm *being* harsh. But I do not think I was, in this incident.

Yelling at the kids is harsh (or can be considered as such), and I accept that. Simply using the correct terminology for a defined, factual behavior is not, in my opinion harsh.

So ya'll feel free to help me see the counselor's POV. :yay:
