Concerned mother discovers rebellious teen-daughter steals from their home and pawns belongings for thousands of dollars, she confides in sister and begs her to keep secret from rest of family: 'Our immediate family deserves a headsup'

Parenting is already a difficult task, and teenagers? Take that task and times the difficulty level by 1 thousand.

(and in this case, $1000 dollars.)

Oftentimes, it's simply about parenting and the morals you have instilled without your children, and other times, parents are really just challenged with extremely rebellious kids. That doesn't make it any easier… Whether it's nature or nurture, it still doesn't change the fact that many people struggle to maintain any form of control over their children, no matter how many times they are grounded or told no.

You can send them to therapy, talk it out, and offer them constant time and attention, yet sometimes nothing changes and the parent starts to become the one who needs the support…

As in this testing story, this concerned mother confides in her sister, regarding her teenage daughter's terrible stealing habits. She is met with anxiety at the thought of warning the rest of the family after her sister suggests that this is the right thing to do.

As a mother…do you protect your children from the judgement of others or hold them liable for their actions?

It's awkward, its uncomfortable and its shameful, but I guess so is stealing…
When one does something damaging towards themselves, they are also affecting those closest to them…It is not some selfish habit that has zero influence over anyone's lives, but instead, becomes a impactful case of tainted reputation and lost trust.

AITA for telling my SIL she should tell the rest of the family about her daughter’s stealing?
