Teenagers think they know everything and that their parents know nothing.
Dear Lisi: My son has started an online business that is very successful. It’s an above-board idea that he came up with from watching a TV show. I didn’t think it would fly, but he seems to be making some good money. He’s young and so I’d like to help him invest it and not blow it on useless things that his young teenage brain thinks are awesome. But he’s refusing.Frustrated Dad
Dear Lisi: My sister is a thief. She steals little things, nothing that anyone would miss, and nothing that costs very much money. I don’t think she’s ever stolen anything worth more than $20. But still. Sometimes she doesn’t even realize she’s doing it. And she’s very good at it. I remember when I was little hearing stories of my great-uncle who used to steal. His parents made him take whatever he stole back to the store, apologize and do a few hours of labour for his penance. I’m not getting a good sense of how old your sister is so it’s hard to respond since the “punishment” for stealing is very age dependent.
