[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 181328, member: 3419"] You [I]must be able to have a lot of restraint to be a foster mom or foster sister/brother, because I would end up blurting out something about the makeup or eating. [/I] remove some of her eyeliner. Of course, she was angry and in tears but she made the changes. After that, I would remind her not to bend forward over the dinner table, and also made her wear tank tops underneath her "evening dresses" to school. I threatened to sneak into her room and put three little stitches in every single one of her dresses and blouses at the top and I think she was really worried about it. (I'm the type to do it, too, LOL.) I told her she was much too pretty to trash herself like that. I also tell my son he stinks, and make him wash b4 we go out. I give them compliments, and tell them when they look nice, too, to balance it out. We have to remember that they are children in adult bodies, and it takes yrs for them to get used to it. I know you have to be careful of her feelings, but gosh, it must be hard. by the way, do you do the grocery shopping? Where is she getting the unhealthy snacks? Does she have an allowance of some sort[I]My easy child daughter loves to wear low cleavage and a ton of mascara, and once on her way out the door to school, I blurted, "OMG, I can see all the way to China!"[/I] [I]And if that wasn't enough, I told her she looked like a streetwalker and needed to[/I] ?
