[QUOTE="klmno, post: 359160, member: 3699"] I normally sleep with my keys in my pocket of shorts or sweats. I have to sleep in those because I never know when I'll have to jump up during the night. Still- difficult child has tried to remove things from my pocket while I'm asleep. But last night, I forgot to switch the stuff (cash, keys and my cigs and lighter) from the jeans I'd been wearing to my sleepwear. Then, he's either gotten in the trunk or that cell slid around in there and I've smoked a whol;e carton of cigs since Friday afternoon and not noticed. I'm going to check in the trunk again to make sure the cell didn't fall out of the box I had it in- it was raining earlier so I didn't look for long. difficult child had been making bongs before so he could smoke tobacco he would gather from cig butts. So you bring up a good point- if he had a pack of cigs, why would he choose to smoke out of a bong. And why did he have to cut up brand new containers? There are old containers in the cabinet- he chose to open a box of brand new niceones that I really liked and wanted for the kitchen. It's like a couple of years ago after I spent hours and hours painting a room and fixing it nice, he banged holes in the walls and thru the door. I don't act this way and don't encourage difficult child to so why do people think this is my fault? That's clearly going out of his way to get back at me. He had acted so respectful and sweet to me but this kind of stuff goes beyond just doing it because he wants to smoke. ETA: OK- I found another pack of cigs so he didn't take much of them if any. He probably took a couple of packs and the cell phone is definitely not in there. I had something else in there I would have thought he'd taken but didn't. I just don't know how I am supposed to withstand all the toll this takes on me and supervise this kid 24/7 to the extent it would take to keep him from doing this kind of stuff. They expect me to put more energy into it yet I feel more and more drained and less supported. [/QUOTE]
