[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 202120"] (hugs) I think it might make good sense to use words like "liar" to difficult child. After all, that is what it is. At the same time of course, point out times that he uses good judgment. Also, I was wondering if you could ask one of the mental health professionals about using the same type of logic with reference to the new bloomers that have showed up. You have just washed them. Maybe you could put them out in the open with a note like "Does anyone know who these belong to so we can return them?" (Just one thought/one version). You could also quietly ask him where he got the bloomers since no one else in the family has claimed them or has an interest in acquiring this stuff. You could use the word "steal," again. I don't know if any of these things would get to his sense of fair play. I know with my kids sometimes using "their language" worked. For example..."How would you like it if I went in your room and [B]RIPPED OFF[/B] your stereo? Or you favorite pair of sneakers? Well, it seems you [B]ripped off [/B]something that belonged to some lady." [/QUOTE]
