[QUOTE="Shari, post: 358196, member: 1848"] Cultured difficult child's mom and grandma called last week, accusing me of taking cultured difficult child's birthday money. We had taken it. We took it and locked it up because she was dragging it to school, despite having been told by mom, grandma, and us not to. *** When asked by mom and grandma where it was, instead of telling them it was at our house because she wasn't supposed to take it to school, she just told them we took it. When asked why, she didn't know. It was just gone. *** Mom and grandma now know the rest of the story, but there will be no repurcussion for her actions with them. In fact, I doubt she is even aware that I know her part in this little fantasy. She will be here Wednesday and this weekend. On Wednesday, I think I will unlock the cabinet and show her the flippin' money, and then lock it back up. *** I am angry with her deceitfulness, but do I just ignore it, like everyone else? Or stand my ground a bit with her? There is a beginner's mounted shooting clinic Saturday that I will be helping with. If there was space available, I had thought about enrolling her. Its $75 (that I would be paying out of my pocket, not hers) and she has to have a mentor (aka me), and I'd have to loan her my guns. I'll be right honest, I'm not feeling that charitable right now. *** Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
