[QUOTE="ksm, post: 598609, member: 12511"] Thanks for the ideas and sympathy... A teen girl difficult child is a whole 'nother creature. We don't have a good place to buy bras in our community, so will try to do it the next time we go to the larger city about an hour away. I'll let her keep the bras she bought, but will put them away. Maybe she will grow in to them ;-) We only have JCP, Sears, Target, Walmart. Used to be a good Dillards who had sales clerks who could also do bra fittings... but they shut down last year. And I WILL be checking luggage if there is a trip in our future. husband and I have got to the point where we dread going away from home with difficult child. Remember, on spring break this year we found she had self pierced her nose, tried to run out of the condo, and went to bed with the drapes wide open. Also... much attitude and yelling about how lame we are. Of course, she didn't have any friends whose families took them on a week break in a nice condo and amusement park. I am lame because we don't let her run around by herself at night, and try to keep the drapes closed when sleeping on a sleeper sofa across from a picture window and the walkway for the whole condo building. There have been numerous times over the school year when I refused to drive her to school until she changed. Like... short shorts and halter top in 20 degree winter weather. Stilettos. Ripped jeans that were ripped where they shouldn't be. And just so it is clear, I don't buy this stuff for her, or even give her an allowance so she can buy this stuff. She gets things from friends, spends her babysitting money, or "alters" things I have bought with scissors. I've got three more years til 18... but I know that I will probably be dealing with this stuff even longer. I don't see her being the type to grow up anytime soon. And if she is like her mom, she'll be 44 and still couch surfing. ugghh. KSM [/QUOTE]
