[QUOTE="tandem biker, post: 41706, member: 224"] It's the sense of entitlement that just slays me. For example, difficult child last year decided she was entitled to husband's gift from a neighbor (for helping her pump 200,000+ gallons of water off her lot) of $150.00 in movie tickets and concession items. Of course, she denied it up and down that she had taken it but low and behold, the card and receipt for what remained on the card ($2.50) was in her apt when we cleaned her out for the upteenth time. It's really no wonder we always think of them when anything and everything winds up missing or misplaced. They know that at any given time you'll not remember each and everything you have or where it is. By the time we do, how can we prove that they took it?? "I knew that if I accused her of taking it she would have denied it forever. By giving her the chance of "finding" it she was able to give it back." This method has worked before for us too but I have to grit my teeth to ask because I know that things are TAKEN and not meant to be BORROWED. I'm not sure it's that they necessary want everything they take, it just seems that they don't want you or PCs to have them either. Glad you got it back. We stick to the same motto: Never allowed in the house alone and no $ left out that she'd spy and grab. Mary [/QUOTE]
