[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 490619, member: 6546"] I would like to point out that it is also possible that difficult child 2 is NOT running a con....at least not on purpose, per se...but still managed to draw the VP's unwanted attention on herself. When I talked about my difficult child in my earlier post? I do not believe that my difficult child was out to get clothing, school supplies, and other assorted gifts from near strangers. But - she DOES have the nasty habit of constantly spinning tales designed to evoke pity from others...and I don't think she thinks at all about how this is perceived. Most of the time, adults will see through her stories...but on those other times? It can bring a lot of trouble that difficult child didn't plan on. I do think that Susie is right about this being a good life lesson... And along with teaching her to trust her instincts, you may end up teaching her to be careful what kind of attention she is drawing to herself (if she is indeed telling "poor me!" tales)... Good luck! (and let us know how things go...) [/QUOTE]
