Had a good week or so with difficult child. Then last night, let easy child have a friend spend the night. They wanted to go to the movies, and friend said her mom sent a $20 with her so easy child and her could go to the movies. This morning... husband and I are missing a $20 from our stash. easy child admits to taking it... and her friend lied about where it came from. SO mad at both of them. easy child doesn't want me to tell the girls parents - as they use a belt for punishment.
easy child is remorseful... and I have taken away iPod, and she knows she is grounded for a week and her friend can't come over after school next week. Not sure what to do exactly about the friend. Even if I don't tell, I don't trust her or easy child much right now.
Trying how to have easy child work to pay back the funds... SO FRUSTRATED. THis all happened on our 8th anniversary of our adoption of the girls. I spent yesterday fixing their favorite meal, buying and giving gifts (as we usually do to celebrate adoption day) and then I feel like I got kicked in the gut. KSM
