My poor little girl... - Vent...Sorry everyone.

I am so MAD and upset right now I can't breath. Tyler has been giving Gracie "daughter dollars" $1 or $2 and all his change everyday since she was around 3 and my dad (pop-pop) has been doing the same every time she see's him. She keeps it all in a Disney Princess tin purse with a little cheap lock (more for her own piece of mind) until we go to the bank. She has her own savings account and everything and we put the money in there every so often. But with the holidays and all the family that came in this year we just have not had time. So last night I thought about it and realized it was time to take it to the bank so late night Gracie and I counted it and rollers the coins to make things easier. Early this morning DHs mom called me and asked me if she could send his little brother Ian over because she didn't like the thought of him wasting his whole xmas break home alone I was fine with that and he came over. Ian is 14 and he went right into Gracie's room and set up his PS2 which is fine I had no problem with that. Well, this afternoon after Ian had gone home I sent Gracie to get it so we could go put it in her savings and about 30 seconds later she comes out crying. It was all gone and the lock was broken off of it I was crying myself at this time. I called DH at work and told him about it and that Gracie, Ian and I were the only one in the house and I didn't just want to accuse Ian of it. He told me he would call his mom then call me back. When he called back he said Ian was really upset that we would think he did it and that Gracie had been playing with and that she probably did something with it so try to get more. Okay first off all I highly doubt my 5 year old could come with something like that or break a lock even a little kids one. Tyler and I are trying so hard to explain what happened to Gracie without her feeling even worse then she already does and without her losing full trust and faith in poeple esp. her fmaily. How can someone do this esp. to a little girl. I am just so furious about this she had almost $150 in there I guess it my fault really. I just wish I could make her feel better about this and that Ian would fess up and say he's sorry.

Sorry for the long vent everyone I just needed to get it out.

Boys r us replied: WOW! Well, you'd think that his mom might notice if he has $150 just lying around! Perhaps she could look for it!

How horrible! Poor little Gracie!

akbutterfly83 replied: I'm sorry to hear that..... I've had that happen to me before.... It's heart braking when that happens....

When I was about 5 or 6 it happened to me..... I lived with my grandparents.... And my grandpa useto give me change all the time before bed and i saved it in a little jar in his room..... but one day we had a few other people over, cause my grandma had a tupper wear party, and later on that day we went to go put it in the bank and it was gone.... I cryed all night......

That's rude of her... not to atleast look around and see if she finds anything new, or any clumps of money....

I'm sorry that had to happen to your little one....

You'll find it... and she will be happy again....

mammag replied: Aww that is so heartbreaking. It brought a tear to my eye. Poor baby. What a hard lesson to learn at such a young age.

I'm surprised dh would believe his brother (14 boy....come on now) over his little girl.

I hope he gets a guilty conscience and fesses up.

Mommy2Be replied: Thanks everyone for the replys and for carign so much about her it really means a lot. It is very heart breaking she is still very upset this morning and of course I can't blame her. I have asked Tyler to talk to his mom again and ask her to do some investigating. I agree you would with out a doubt notice if your 14 yr old had $150 out of the blue. So we will see hopefully we will get it back I just wish she didn't have to learn things like this so young.

Tyler is mad too and he says he never believed his brother over me he was just at a lose as to what to do because his little borther was acting like Mr. Innocent. But he is really upset too. You can believe he would be in such deep water if he did not believe me.

Thanks again everyone

kiddies'r'us replied: OMG

MommyToAshley replied: That is just horrible, I am so sorry.

I don't know what else to say, I just feel so bad for Gracie.

Mommy2Be replied: Thanks everyone your all so sweet . I'm still pretty upset about it but Gracie is doing a bit better. We told her that the person who did it would now have to live with themself (we didn't want to name names in front of her) and the feeling of knowing what they did.
Dh came home from work for lunch and took her out to lunch and to the Build a Bear Workshop and I think that made her feel a bit better. I know that still does not solve the problem but we will see what the next few days brings. Thanks again everyone and Gracie says thank you for the hugs .

gr33n3y3z replied: that is so sad I hope she gets it back real soon

A&A'smommy replied: OMG how horrible!!!! What a little jerk, I would definitly have your mil do a little investigating!!

mummy2girls replied: Oh My!!!!!! I am so sorry !!!!

Kirstenmumof3 replied: OMG that is just awful! I'm so sorry that happened! A simalar thing happened to me just a few months ago with our students. One of the students stole my purse, took all my change and my buspass! That really makes me mad that your DH's brother hasn't fessed up yet!

DansMom replied: 14 years old is a very common age for experimenting with stealing. What's wrong is that the parents won't confront him more aggressively and he won't learn the lesson that it's wrong. I stole from someone's piggy bank when I was 9 years old, and I still remember the confrontation and the shame I felt when I was found out. My mom took a long time with me explaining how wrong it was in ways that I could understand, emphasizing how it hurt the person I stole from. This Ian needs to go through that so he gets the life lesson soon---before stealing becomes a habit. I'm assuming there's no chance it was anyone else?

I'm so sorry for Gracie. It sounds like you did all the right things.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Ian sounds like a spoiled brat! Especially with a mom who covers his every little mistake!! What she is doing is wrong!!!

I hope Gracie gets her money back soon.

superlydia replied: Poor thing , hopefully she gets her money back and the little boy learns a valuable lesson. If his mom catches him and punishes him this could be his first and last time stealing.

Mommy2BAK replied: Oh my gosh! That makes me mad just reading what you wrote! That BIL of yours is a little brat. And I wouldn't appretiate his mother letting him off that easily. It's pretty obvious. Poor little Gracie, that is so sad that she has to see people like this so early on in ife.
