    Default kids have me cryin

    I know i have been complaining alot lately. Things just seem to be going bad over and over. Today, i knew the purse was in the reach of the kids while we were driving around. I am missing 60 bucks. finally after tearing out my hair looking for it all over the house (thought maybe i am crazy and didn't have it in the purse after all). turns out my son (7) was dropping the bills out the window of the van as i was driving around. (Mimicing a scene he saw on NCIS). I am at my last thread of restraint. DH is out of town for a few more days. I certainly don't have 60.00 to replace it with.

    Oh Missy I am so sorry. NCIS lover here, but man... Hope those that found the money use it to play it forward... My guess is that son will remember this and somewhere down the road you will be repayed ten fold. Big Mom to Mom hug.

    Oh no!! I'm so sorry! What a rotten thing to happen. I hope someone finds the money who truly needs it and that you don't have problems covering the loss.

    I'm so sorry this happened to you! How frustrated you must be, but know that this too shall pass! Maybe you should have your son make some of it up with his allowance or by doing chores to help you out.

    So sorry this happened to you. It disturbs me what kids see on television. One time when my DD was little I was watching Sally Jessy Raphael and a guest on there angrily spit on another guest. Well, the next day my DD did the same thing to her little sister. After there I never did watch that program again.
