A few minutes in time-out won't fix it.
Let him know you mean business and aren't fricking around.

Man this is a tough call. You've got one suggestion saying you should teach him that stealing is wrong by teaching him about the value of money, showing him how much hard work it takes to earn money and how much it sucks to have your money stolen after that hard work. Thus, he wouldn't steal in the future because he sees how unfair it is. Conversely, you've got another suggestion saying you should teach him that stealing is wrong by beating his arse, showing him that since he's small he shouldn't steal because he'll feel pain. Thus, he won't steal for the next couple years, until he's big enough to not be scared of his old man, at which point he'll revert to being a delinquent because he only learned that stealing is wrong because he might get in trouble for it. Real tough decision here.
The lack of critical thinking some of y'all display is absolutely fascinating. But obviously y'all were raised not to think, so it makes sense.

Have him run for Governor

It's already been said, but make him work off that $100. That $100 value is actually $130 when you consider taxes were already taken out of it, so he needs to work off $130. While he is working his tail off, you have the 7 year-old sitting in the yard watching him so he also understands the value of money and what will happen if he tries to steal from you or anyone. Any then, you need to get your wife and PIIHB for birthing such a shitty kid.

Don’t do anything, and at Christmas when he doesn’t get any presents, tell him someone stole the money he had to pay Santa for them. Hopefully that won’t happen again next year.

My house? He would be making big rocks into small rocks and other manual labor at a rate of $1 per hour. 100 hours of hard labor will correct that.

So what is your suggestion?

Reading comprehension ain't so hot either, apparently.

You need to find out as to why he took it and if he really needs money. If the later, put him to work around the house to earn money. Teach him what a dollar is.

This is a great idea.
This is how you create empathy. Let him earn the $100 the hard way with manual labor then take it from him and ask him how it feels. Then buy him an ice cream cone and tell you love him.

I stole a check from my mom about that age. It happens

Uhhh sounds like a kid just bragging to his brother, not actual theft. Maybe you should re-evaluate your response, baw.

If that is the case, have him blame COVID for stealing the 100 dollars, then lock the house down until the government sends your house another stimmy.
If he has any interesting takes during the process, then sign him up, it can only be better than the Hand-Out Theater we're living in now.

I'd assume $5.25/hr minimum wage (when i was a kid) and for $130, that's 25 hours. So make him work for 25 hours. When he's done, teach him this is what $130 was worth when i was your age. Then take back the $100 and tell him stealing is never right, and there are consequences for your actions.

Where in your post do you say which suggestion you agree with?
Posted on 11/3/20 at 11:31 am to GreenRockTiger
I always keep 20s, 100s are too hard to break anywhere.
Both need to be disciplined. Child number one for stealing, and child number two for snitching instead of convincing his brother to do the right thing and put the money back.
Two life lessons in one grounding.
Before you do that, start lifting things they like from their room when they are not there. See how long it takes for them to realize their shite is missing. Then hit them with the life lesson and grounding.

You could spank him, like a dumbass...
Or, choose the route that isn’t lazy and explain just theft is wrong. To hammer it home, steal his toy/tech device for a week.

Would have made him learn a lesson, you are too soft.

This is a metaphor for how taxation works.

My ex’s little brother was around 9 and took one of his dad’s business checks and wrote it out to a sum of 1 trillion dollars. The house keeper found it behind his bed. He even endorsed it to himself and signed it “dad”
