[QUOTE="Bean, post: 393287, member: 8620"] Kick 'em out. Period. Easier said than done. But having lived through it myself, you are left no choice. If you have them continue on staying there, you're sending the wrong message regarding theft, boundaries and acceptable behavior AND, you're setting yourself up for more heartbreak. I caught my daughter stealing from us, and she was out immediately. Not one more night, not an hour, not a day. Out. I didn't call the police because she's already been in jail and I didn't see it as a helpful thing for her. She might end up getting caught up with the system eventually again if she can't keep her hands out of other people's stuff. But, I felt like kicking her out was enough for me at the time. [/QUOTE]
