[QUOTE="Janna, post: 58602, member: 2737"] Nancy, B does not lend out clothing, but has "lent" or traded alot of other things in the past. Video games, video game systems, cell phones etc. When he was reunified with me, I asked him about the Game Boy Micro I had given him for Christmas, and the Nintendo DS Lite the foster mother had given him for Christmas, because he didn't have them. "I dunno where they're at" (which is a lie and transfers to, "I gave them to someone"). I, personally, agree with everyone else. A) it's his way of trying to "buy" his friends, because truthfully, he's never had alot of them, B) it's his way of thinking he's fitting in with whomever and C) he has absolutely no respect for anything. So, upon his reunification, I told him I would give him a set amount per month in a clothing allowance, and anything he wanted through the course of the year materialistic wise (anything that isn't a necessity in other words) he can work for and buy himself (except birthday and Christmas). I will not spend one more cent on something for him to give it away. I wouldn't buy her anything else, but then, we're poor and I can't afford for my kids to give out clothing. They'd be going out naked. [/QUOTE]
