Hope you have. Nothing worse than a thief.

Rapists?  Murderers?  Carlin's "prison farm" routine comes to mind... I miss that funny man  :(

Anyway, tails you may want to just listen a bit more...or perhaps go back to your siesta?  Eh either way, best of luck.

Tell ya what tails4.  Had one of my kids pulled a stunt like that with one of my credit cards, the last place he'd be is online talking about it.

There would be a great deal of repentance and groveling that would have needed to take place to get anywhere near a computer after that.

Agreed!

That's STEALING and possibly FRAUD. :eek:

Worse thats stealing from his own family.  :eek:

That suggest ... well gotta ask what will he do to none family members?

Suggest he has no sense of what work is?  :mad:

Would be a VERY long time before he would be trusted with much of anything in my family.  :rock

What is it they say?

As the twig is bent so grows the tree?  :D

Really bad form there tails4!

He's a working man, gets paid in the 2 to 3 thousand dollar range, so he barely noticed his losses  (barely meaning when I cracked.)
Be grateful you're not my kid...  :t  :furious :mad: :devil

One thing that ticks me off a little was that I screwed up when I confessed I'd been stealing from my dad's credit card without permission. Should've waited for it to blow over... So, I'm gonna take a little siesta, see what I can do regarding getting back in without going through the free trial and paying and stealing. Heck, I even wonder what those coupons do sometimes. To that note, I'll be taking a more general chatting role around here.
Well considering you are 13, it is unlikely you will get a real job. Why don't you work something out with your parents. Pick up extra chores, say you will do ________ if they pay for you to play Aces High. Now that chore should not be something you already do, or something to clean up after yourself, but to help your parents. Mowing the lawn comes to mind.

Many, many decades ago I stole $100 from my dad.  I got sent to the Parker Ranch (a working cattle ranch & dude ranch) on Kona (we lived on Oahu at the time) for three weeks were I worked my donut off like you would not believe!  I was up before dawn helping get meals going for staff, then getting the tack out for the paniolos, washing dishes, mucking-out stalls, set-up for outdoor events, load/unload feed, police the grounds for trash, clean the tack & store it, help in the kitchen for dinner, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.  After three weeks I get home & have to re-pay my dad the $100, plus the cost of a RT ticket to the big island from Oahu out of my wages; I think I still owed him $20 and had to do without allowance for two weeks.  Know what I had used the stolen $100 for?  to buy "Cross of Iron", "Crescendo of Doom" & "GI: Anvil of Victory".....I never played another game of Squad Leader again; I was 14.

So pardon me if I lack any sympathy or empathy for you.

sorry to here your scam didnt work out as planned, but believe me most of us have tried a few and they never flew or if they did we got caught like you! we learned,   just take your time do it right.

Like I said, Box, you should start a church!

Oh, and 4Tails, I don't think you're gonna find a lot of people wanting a friendly chat with a thief!  Not cool, junior.

Somehow, I have a hard time visualizing you as a tough parent.

I agree with Raptor, provided you work off what you already stole. If you begin to pay back your father before you begin asking for money it will go a long way. You could also surprise your parents and ask neighbors quietly if they need any work done and give back the money you stole as a precursor to getting back into Aces High.

Never went to juvi at all. I've only learned my lesson after a few failed attempts.

Am I the only one that caught the "few failed attempts"?
Once is a learning experience, teaches you not to do it, twice is stupid, 3+ times is either bad parenting or an out-of-control child...

My $.02

DISCLAIMER: Of course there are other circumstances, those are the 2 that jump out to me though...
