Daughter leaving home......

Sorry but telling your son to replace the drink is not discipline, surely there are consequences for taking other people's property without asking?
I agree with this. OP, I assume that this isn't the first time that your son has done something like this. I don't know how old he is, but if you tell your daughter that it isn't the end of the world and blame her for getting angry then it isn't sending the correct message to your son. If your dd has CFS, then someone irritating her unnecessarily isn't going to help.
As others have said, your son needs to start respecting other people's belongings.0 -

Definitely start packing up the dog's things as well.
It might be, but when the OP's dd isn't well it doesn't help her.0 -

No, life isn't fair, but parents should try to be. All the OP's daughter wants is to be treated fairly. Just because life in general isn't fair, it doesn't mean her own mother shouldn't be.0 -

No, it will be a lot worse, but she has just had enough and this is the only course of action she has to show how she feels.
Really, if you want to defend her brother then fine, but I can't be bothered to argue with someone who thinks it is ok for someone to be irritating just because the rest of the world is irritating.0 -
