[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 490479, member: 6546"] Methuselah-- I *might* think it was weird if the same stuff didn't routinely happen to my difficult child, too... In our case, difficult child has told so many darn sob stories (o poor me! poor me!) about her horrific parents (they never buy, do, support) and her terrible life (we are so poor! I have nothing!) that many, many people over the years have given difficult child hand-me-downs. And often, these are people that she does not know very well - an older neighbor, a friend's parent, I'm can't remember whether any teachers gave her clothes....I know they've given her other stuff... and every time I've been embarassed and tried to arrange for difficult child to give the items back... but I might as well have been speaking Martian... becuase these folks were absolutely convinced that difficult child "needed" them and they were going to help! Hopefully, you will be able to get the principal to respect some boundaries... and if not, dispose of the clothes yourself. [/QUOTE]
