[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 425512, member: 1233"] Star has the right idea. If she won't come home on hte bus then you need to take a day or two where you take your lunch at the time to pick her up or else take time off work and go pick her up dressed the absolute WORST you possibly can manage. Pick her up and let everyone know LOUDLY that you must pick her up because she isn't responsible enough to come home and you need to take her to go do something horribly embarrassing. TO go pick out new barney underwear because she keeps wetting her pants or some such. Yes, it does sound mean - but no worse than what she does to you. Sometimes it is needed to go and embarrass them into being afraid to behave badly. Let her know you will keep doing it if she keeps not coming home. WHen Wiz was in jr high they adored husband at the office. If Wiz misbehaved husband was going to go to school and sign the Barney song over the intercom - dedicated to Wiz as "his favorite song". Wiz hated Barney and KNEW his father would 1000% carry through. It totally kept Wiz behaving relatively well for a year. At least at school anyway. Go in your ugly jammies (make sure they don't match) and make your hair as bad as possible. Make a sign, sing a song (esp if you cannot carry a tune and know one that she will HATE). make it embarrassing for her to NOT get on the bus. Or get permission to ride the bus WITH her. get a ride to her school, go to her last class and FIND her and wait for the bus, then ride the bus to ehr stop. Tell everyone around that you are doing this because she cannot find the bus or the house and you are SO WORRIED about her and you want to make sure she can find her way home because she keeps getting "lost" and you know she has memory problems, cannot remember even basic things that a first grader can remember like where home is and hwo to get there. It will work. She will be furious, but keep the "I am just helping you because you cannot help yourself" and hten at home let her know that if it has to keep happening you will do it and you will make sure it only gets worse.
