[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 357341, member: 6705"] I have to agree with everyone else here... I wish it worked on Onyxx... But it doesn't. Because she's only 15. She cannot GET a job (no one locally will hire her, they all know her, and we have stated we're NOT driving her so it HAS to be within walking distance, plus all the legal stuff). She won't do her chores, and I won't refuse to feed her. However even the basic food, she steals, so I had to let that one go. husband doesn't want to put locks on the pantry - the doors come off too easy. That's not the point. She hides it so we won't notice she took it. If the door is off its hinges, we'd notice. I refuse to buy her expensive clothes anymore. She's learned to like Goodwill. Because I'll give her $10 and set her loose. Amazing what she can find. Yours can too. And... Don't give her $10!!! Now as for the phones. We don't answer unavailable/blocked numbers, because this is what BM used to harass us repeatedly. So... No. husband's business calls can go to voice mail and he calls right back if the number is blocked. Friends know not to use blocking. And we rarely answer when BM's number comes up, just because it is usually a demand for something or other. I did once while out with H & E - she wanted information from me so she could get LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES on the kids. So just don't answer blocked numbers. Simple. DIFFICULT - but definitely possible. [/QUOTE]
