Dear Care and Feeding: Is it worthwhile to raise this very awkward issue with my friend or her daughter?
My husband and I have known “Jan” for 10 years. I would say that she is my best friend, and her now teenage daughter “Maggie” is like a niece to me. Lately Maggie has been having a hard time: she became very isolated during the pandemic; she is exploring her gender and sexual identity; and recently she lost her summer job because she stole 15 dollars from the register. She’s now seeing a counselor.
I’m not a mom, so I don’t know how to deal with this. It was a simple $25 dollar vibrator, easy to replace, and at this point I don’t want it back. Should I just let this go? Jan is a good mom, but she’s a bit uncomfortable about sex, and I imagine if I told her, and she spoke to Maggie about it, it would be painful for Maggie . But I worry that stealing from me is a way of Maggie’s acting out, one that her mom should know about so it can be brought to her counselor’s attention.
