Ever since I went to a County Dentention Facility (aka jail) for about 3 days in 2015, I've had this weird interest in watching shows like Locked Up. I'm a mother of 1 baby who was born May 2016. I had never been arrested before, but since I was a kid I've stolen little things even food when my parents said no so it was inevitable that one day I would get caught. I've never stolen anything big but what I got arrested for was shop lifting at Walmart. I was put on probation which cost me over $1000 with class costs. I still have urges to this day but am really good at squashing them.
I've been thinking about lately that one day I feel it's right I should talk to my child about this part of my life. I know that's a long way off, but it certainly weighs on my mind. has anyone here been in the same situation and if so how did you have the talk about that part of your life with your child? I want to be able to use it as a teaching situation.

I just want to say thank you for talking about this. my 10 year old is a chronic stealer and lier. like she will lie and scream because we don't believe her and then days later she will confess if she wants something. she says she knows she has a choice not to do it and she knows she has control over herself.
I agree with the timing thing. I've learned things about my parents that if I had known at other times my life probably would have gone down a very different, not so good path.
I have things that I've gone through that I will be honest about to my girls when the time is right.
I was raised to be honest. My mother would always explain things to us when she felt the time was right. I feel like it's never easy to be 100% vulnerable at any point, especially when it comes to our children in which we want to be perfect for, but we need to do so when the time is right.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, timing is everything.
Idk I have somethings about my life my kids must never know 😂😂😂 I've changed so much since becoming a mom
Oh ya, I struggle with being a lier off and on throughout life. its taken a lot to get better. more so having to trust myself and not having to make up this goody two shoes. I find being a liar comes with stealing.
