[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 339825, member: 1991"] That's definitely one to tell the therapist. So what is going to be your criterion for identifying the undies as clean? Because she's trying to second-guess you, it seems it's easier to do that than to do what she is supposed to do. If you tell her you will apply the sniff test, I hate to think what she will try to do to the undies to 'prove' to you that she did wear them (when she didn't). She needs to know - this is NOT a game, this is life. and preparation for life and living independently. The object of the game isn't to put one over on your mother, it's to learn how to live like a decent human being, and not a slob. In other words - mom isn't the object of the game, she's merely the referee. At this point. The time will come when she has to deal with many referees at one time, who she will not know ahead of time and will not be ale to con. People who won't care one iota about her, but who won't tolerate this behaviour and who will judge her adversely for it. Marg [/QUOTE]
