[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 228383, member: 1169"] I have already lost the belt battle. It is a requirement for school. Staff checked (course she denies telling me that she didn't think it was back in Sept). They claim that because she had a belt for 2 months (having been sneaky and bought it and staff not remembering she wasn't suppose to have it) and she wasn't violent with it, that they refuse to treat her as if she would be if it was given back to her. (Gotta love the logic there). The house director keeps repeating how sweet and wonderful she thinks Kanga is. Course, she then confirms that when mad, Kanga gets very disrespectful. And she is clearly manipulative. She has repeatedly said that she feels we need to call and visit Kanga more often. I told her she was nuts (in much more professional language). Even when we visited for Christmas, Kanga was done with us about 10 minutes after she finished opening her presents. Why would I want to spend 5 hours in a car to spend 45 minutes with her and be told to leave???? As far as phone calls go, how much self-centered babble and demands to be given things do we need to listen to? When she is appropriate on the phone (which does happen), we 'reward' her by calling her the next day even when it isn't on the phone schedule. We make a point of telling her that because she was so appropriate on the phone the day before that we enjoyed talking to her and wanted to do so again. Course, she rarely can be appropriate two phone calls in a row. This lady is[B][I] so[/I][/B] conned by Kanga but she writes part of the report that keeps our funding, so I have to play her game. She has a very strong personality and I fear she can put pressure on the therapist (whom I like but is very young compared to the house director) to slant her report. Uuuuuugggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!
