Question

I have a 14 year old sister (i am older) & she steals my stuff like mad. I know that sibling stealing/borrowing is normal & that it is common for 1 sister to borrow another sisters clothes. However my sister has taken it to an extreme. My parents dont allow locks on bedroom doors, however the stealing has gotten so bad that I was forced to put 1 on. (we each have our own bedrooms) On occations I forget to lock my room for literally 3 minutes & a pair of jeans, makeup, & electronics have already been stolen. I have 3 locking safes about the size of a microwave in my room just incase she finds a way to break in I have a backup. She has found a way to shake the safe so the stuff comes out the side. I have to putt all of my common toiletires such as toothbrushes, deoderant etc in the safes. She uses these for her own use & for threats. what do you suggest i do to & prevent her from further stealing? (we have sent her to counseling, ADD medication & talked to her about it & it doesn't work

Answer 1

Since she doesn't seem to be responding to reasoning, why not give her a taste of her own medicine. If she steals something of yours, steal something of hers, hide it, and don't give it back to her until she gives you your stuff back.
You could also work out something with your parents. Like if your sister stole something, your parents will take something away from her, like a privilege or something of hers that she really enjoys. Your sister clearly doesn't respect you or your personal things so I say give her a taste of her own medicine, show her you aren't going to take her crap. It could be that she's looking for attention from you or there's some underlying cause, ask her about it and be firm that she be honest with you.
That's one sucky situation, I wish you all the best.

Answer 2

EXTREEM BAD HABITS CALL FOR EXTREEM PUNISHMENTS! I know she is ADD and that is truly a hard situation to deal with. Been there,did that with a bf's daughter. (she was on 15 mg of Adderol at 8 yrs old). So, I know the extreem scenarios she can present for you all. Some would think there is a fault with the parents' Parenting, and it is not. What you have to do with these kids is to "continuously" show them cause and affect results to their action...especially verbally making a point at time of punishment. She will pout like all get out...LET HER.

TELL HER IF SHE STEALS (AND YOUR PARENTS SHOULD REMOVE THE STOLEN ITEMS FROM HER), THEN SHE IS TO BE PUNISHED THE SAME WAY THAT WE TEACH A 4 YR OLD. . . SIT IN A CORNER FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD OF TIME. TAKE AWAY A PRIVILEDGE AND DO NOT END IT EARLY...TAKE AWAY A FAVORITE PASTIME FOR HER. TAKE AWAY 1 ON THE FIRST OFFENSE, TWO ON THE SECOND, AND SO ON.
Repeat the last punishment on top of a new one.

Another way to 'pull them into line' is to deny them information of what is going on around them in general. One of the greatest things these ADD kids have as a trait, is that they NEED TO BE IN CHARGE OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS AND KNOW EVERTHING THAT IS GOING ON WITH EVERYBODY IN THIER WORLD. DENY HER THAT. Tell her she is being treated like the criminals who go to jail for stealing. They are cut off from their society. If the family plans a trip, do not include her in the plans...TAKE HER ALONG OF COURSE, but the exclusion is what will pull her in line. They cannot stand not to know anything that is going on around them.

You can verify this with her doctors and see if they think this will possibly help. It worked for my ex bf well. His daughter is 12 now and is behaving much better.

Also, removing some of her favorite items for a "unknown to her" period of time will be effective.

Good luck and BE PATIENT.....ALL FAMILIES OF ADD PEOPLE HAVE TO BE.

Answer 3

because of the fact the angel Gabriel advised me that Jimmy Carter will grow to be the Antichrist aka Dajjal (8th King in Rev. 17) and he will serve yet another term in workplace after the demise of Obama (seventh king). The angel Gabriel advised me in Aug. 1973 while i replaced into in Phillipsbrug, Montana that Jimmy Carter will grow to be the Anti-Christ, and that he is going to alter his call, and divorce his spouse! Obama is going to die first and then the Anti-Christ aka Dajjal who replaced into between the previous 7 Presidents will take his place! Rev. 17:10 And there are seven kings: 5 are fallen, and one is, [and] the different isn't yet come; and while he cometh, he might desire to proceed a short area. All 7 kings have been all alive until the demise of Ronald Reagan June 5, 2004 while George W. Bush replaced into in workplace ; a million. Gerald Ford 2. Jimmy Carter 3. Ronald Reagan 4. George H. W. Bush 5. bill Clinton 6. George W. Bush.... is spoken of interior the present stressful (and one is) because of the fact until Reagan died (June 5, 2004) all 7 have been alive! 7. Barack Obama.......and one is yet to return! he will die some days after he will develop taxes! Obama is likewise in Dan. eleven:20 Then shall upward thrust up in his aspects a raiser of taxes [in] the honour of the dominion: yet interior of few days he would be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in conflict. Rev. 17:eleven And the beast that replaced into, and is not, even he's the 8th, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Answer 4

Enough of the nicey nice. Beat the cr*p out of her once to let her know how you really feel about it.

Answer 5

Booby traps. Make it so that, if she steals something, she will get something she hadn't bargained for. Maybe this will deter her, considering nothing else has worked.

Answer 6

tell your sister that you love whatever she has its yours but she must respect your privacy if she needs somtin all she must do is ask n ull giv it 2 her
