I popped out this afternoon leaving my very sensible 11 year old son at home. He called me not long after, very upset because he'd got nail varnish on him and couldn't get it off. I came straight home and he was rather upset. He said he'd put it on as a joke, but he'd have had to rummage for it because I don't wear it. Anyway, I took it off and told him he wasn't in trouble but that I'd like him to ask to use my things first. I also told him that it's ok if he wants to experiment or it's curious and I'll love him no matter what.
Since then, I've been tidying away and putting some ironing away and have noticed that one of my dresses that lives in the back of the wardrobe is at the front and hanging messy on the hanger. I asked him why my dress was in a different place and he said he doesn't know, he didn't touch it. He must have done.
What do I do now?
