[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 90248, member: 1991"] Yes, keep a journal. If the police visit don't let it get to you, just explain the situation and show them what you DO have in the journal. And yes, keeping a journal is really good. Like Desari, ours is on the computer. Because difficult child 3 is at home now, I don't have to keep a Communication Book going with the school. I do add to it whenever there is something of interest or something important. For example, something I need to add - because difficult child 3 was in a movie in January (along with difficult child 1 & easy child 2/difficult child 2) he got a pay cheque, even though he's only 13. Like all pay cheques, they withheld tax and superannuation The mail came yesterday - the superannuation company sent him a letter. difficult child 3 was reading this official mail sent to him, analysing the officialese as he went - " It says here, 'We've noticed there haven't been any employer contributions paid into your superannuation account for a while'.. that's because I HAVE NO EMPLOYER, idiots." I was surprised and impressed - some of these official letters can be complicated. He read ahead - if he is "taking a break from the workforce" he doesn't have to do anything, he just has to keep the letter safe as a record that somewhere, some money has been invested in his name. If he gets a job later on, the accounts can be kept separate, or merged - his choice. That deserves to go in the journal. I might also put in the superannuation details, so if the letter ever gets lost, the account number and company name are still on our files and we can backtrack and sort things out. Chrissy, to save losing words you've worked on, draft your replies into a text file then copy and paste. Your computer should be able to multitask to that extent; most can these days. Marg [/QUOTE]
