[QUOTE="ksm, post: 700100, member: 12511"] Difficult Child update... She called me today and asked if I would help her buy a ball gown for a friend's Marine Ball in another state. I told her she needs to concentrate on getting a job and paying for car insurance in 6 weeks. I suggested she wear the black strapless dress with the beaded detail that I bought for prom. She was worried that a black dress would clash with his dress blues... I told her black is a neutral. Plus she has the shoes that match the dress. Then she asked if she could come by and use the computer to apply for jobs. I said sure. She showed up with a friend's baby... She said she had stopped a couple of places while the babies mom was with her and was told to apply on line. So she never got to use the computer. I think she mainly came to make a sandwich. She was dressed terribly inappropriately for applying for jobs. Skimpy black camisole and a very short skort. And thong underwear. The reason I know it was a thong was that the shorts slipped up her crack in back and showed half a butt cheek. Her hair was in a "messy bun" as she likes to call it. Basically, it is a bun put up three days ago, that she never brushes out. Her face had broken out some, not bad, but then she had picked at some on her cheek and they were now sores. She doesn't say she is working...but has not admitted she hasn't worked for the last two weeks. I am still detaching...didn't ask many questions...didn't try to solve her problems. I did suggest before she goes to a restaurant that she mentioned (her dad is friends with the manager) that she change clothes, brush her hair, and use a little make up. She didn't appreciate my advice. She replied..."I am pretty with out make up". I agreed she was, but a food service business expects people to have clean, styled hair. I dropped it. When she asks for real help, like gas money, I am still going to require she apply for mental health services. This was her 4th job that didn't last more than 90 days. By that time, she is tired of it, doesn't like co workers and thinks all the supervisors were stupid and has an attitude. I am sure things will get worse before they get better. KSM [/QUOTE]
