Joyce was an awesome mother.

For children that usually is the case. On the sitcom "Absolutely Fabulous", the mother was always taking stuff from her daughters house.
Oh Xander with his naivety.:)

I think most kids shoplift at some point.
I wanted to hug Xander. He screwed up but he meant well.

Michael Westen: [voice-over] When you're burned, you've got nothing: no cash, no credit, no job history. You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in.
I know Michael wanted to clear his name. But I understood Fiona's distain for the spy world too.
Parents have to teach them stealing is wrong. Find out why they stole and teach them how to earn things in the right way.
At least Xander wasn't being selfish like with the love spell last time.

My parents taught us well, but my sister still shoplifted, she stole chocolate from the corner shop one day while I was with her. I don't thin I stole anything from a shop, but I stole money from my parents, just a few pence here and there. I got caught though and told off.
Yeah, Xander just wanted some happy for everyone.

My dad wasn't working but my mum was. As much as my sweet tooth was, I wouldn't dare go through with it. They have really upped the security these days.
Xander: Well that’s the funny thing about me, I tend to hear the actual words people say and accept them at face value.
Anya: That’s stupid.
Xander: I can accept that.”

Xander was so open and honest, but perhaps a bit naive to expect honesty back.

Have you ever ran out of the shops after having your first kiss, without paying for a shopping item by accident? No? Well, either have I. Only in "Gilmore Girls".
Sometimes kids plead with their parents for sweets that are obviously place in an enticing display at the shops. I think it would help to teach kids the importance of giving, rather than just receiveing and positive reinforcement.
Billy Joel: Honesty is such a lonely word.
That was an area I could certainly relate to. Some people can be fickle. I've learned that the hard way. But In Anya's defence she was relearning what it is to be human again. It's nice when you can see it from both sides. In real life, that is not always the case.

Parents do need to be firm with their kids. Young kids don't understand that they can't have everything the want.
Anya found being human so confusing, but she was trying.

I heard certain credit cards can set shop alarms off by mistake. Sometimes they just go off without knowing the possible cause. It's happen to me a few times. I was told that retailers don't have a right to check handbags, unless they have reasonable doubt. Bags bigger than that, most definitely.
Kid's need to understand that money doesn't buy happiness. Sure, toys, games, and treats can be fun for the short term. Overindulgence will not help them in the long run for their emotional maturity.
Anya: For a thousand years I wielded the power of the wish. I brought ruin upon the heads of unfaithful men, I offered destruction and chaos for the pleasure of the lower beings. I was feared and worshiped across the mortal globe and now I'm stuck at Sunnydale High! A mortal! A child! And I'm flunking math.
I'm wasn't good at maths either.*shrugs*

Yeah, but parents are often too willing to give in to avoid tantrums.
Same here. I never got to grips with long division.

That's what I learned in Retail class. I do the same as you. Sometimes retailers are very suspicious, sometimes they will just wave you off. It depends on the value of merchandise.
It must be really hard to deal with. I've seen parents ignore it. The kid is going to tire themselves out eventually. A time out would be difficult to implement during a routine shopping trip and is much better than getting angry or enforcing a punishment.
I know the essential's, that's good enough for me. Thank goodness for calculators as back up.:)

I was pretty good at basic mental arithmetic when I was younger, but my brain is wearing out so I use my calculator to make sure I get it right.

Phoebe: Well you obviously didn’t see Chucky 3.
Kids are unpredictable.
Buffy:...Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I mean, when in the real world am I ever gonna need chemistry or history or math or the English language?
I wish I had a friend like Willow in high school who would of helped me with my maths.:(
Reply
I think we all wish we'd had a friend like Willow. She was awesome!

Okay, I'm scaring myself out of adopting a kid. I was anxious when one of cats went AWOL and my dad went missing. I'm most definitely not doing it on my own.*fearful*
Willow: You want us to breed?
Snyder: I want you to tutor him. Percy is flunking history.
Willow was a true academic.:)
