[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 490579, member: 1233"] You have to make some choices now and they will have far reaching effects for your daughter. You can decide this is due to daughter making up stories and the admin being nice but mistaken. This will teach daughter to not tell you when she perceives a problem AND will tell her to not trust her instincts if they say something is really wrong. You can decide admin is being nice and difficult child just didn't understand . This leads to difficult child not trusting her instincts or you. You can decide that admin is off her nut or maybe just inappropriate and difficult child is telling you the truth and you can discuss it with principal and admin and support difficult child. This will let difficult child trust you AND HERSELF/HER INSTINCTS and may stop this pattern of strange behavior by admin or might make her far worse. Personally, you seem pretty sure difficult child isn't running a con. Even if you have some questions/doubt, the admin's behavior is past strange. I spoke to husband about this and he thought that it was way over the line. He has a lot of experience with school admins because his dad was one and married another school official. there is NO WAY this is normal behavior. It could be said that the admin was around your daughter in the school by coincidence. It just doesn't sound like it to me, esp after the clothes thing. I don't know how to handle it except to tell hte admin that difficult child has plenty of clothing and give them back. Make SURE that the principal is there when you discuss it. From this point on you should NEVER have a discussion with this woman without someone else there and you need to send an email summary of any discussion so that you have a written record of events. By acting on this you do more than address the problem. You tell difficult child that no matter what she should listen to her instincts when they say that something is very wrong. This is one of the important things for us to teach our kids, esp our daughters. Listening to that feeling that something is wrong is important for our safety, but too many of us ignore it because we don't want to seem silly or hysterical or like we blow things out of proportion. I am sorry you have to deal with this. Some people just go way too far and think it is okay because they have a certain job or position or amt of money. [/QUOTE]
