With Owen grounded, my mom or one of my brothers had been picking him up from school and taking him to my parents’ place. I was pretty sure I’d be relenting on the grounding sooner rather than later. At the very least, I wanted to give him a chance to earn back trust. If he ditched school again—especially to shoplift—he wouldn’t be using anything with wheels until he was a legal adult.

It wasn’t exactly a punishment for him to spend his afternoons with his grandparents. That had been the norm for a lot of his childhood, especially after my ex and I had split up. I felt guilty about that, but also grateful to my parents for stepping in and helping me out so often.
