[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 391147, member: 84"] I know it can be really hard to let the chips fall where they may.........even with grown kids, but sometimes it's the only way they can learn. If you weren't family, you'd have already pressed charges. You wouldn't let her back into your home. Natural consequences can be major life lessons that get through to a child when we can't. (you know the whole we're just their parents thing, what on earth do we know phht) I'm guessing since she denies stealing the money she's giving you no reasons for the behavior. Any suspicion of drug/alcohol use? Stealing family jewelry sort of makes that pop into your head........ I could not let a grown child stay with me who steals from me. I just couldn't do it. It would drive me crazy. Lying and stealing are 2 things I simply can NOT tolerate. So even if I couldn't bring myself to press charges (that's figuratively because I would press charges) I most certainly wouldn't have them staying in my house. Hugs [/QUOTE]
