[QUOTE="tracev, post: 264640, member: 7158"] :surprised1: Wow!!! I couldn't believe all the info everyone provided me! I greatly appreciate your interest. I have to apologize for taking so long to reply. Our computer died a day after I posted, and it took this long to get it up and running again. To answer a few questions... Briana will lie about nearly anything. I have set up a homework reminder e-mail system with a few of her teachers. They e-mail me before the end of the school day exactly what she has for homework. Her homeroom teacher then sees to it that she brings home the required materials. When she gets home, she says she has no homework. When asked if her chores are completed, she says they are, when CLEARLY, standing next to the sink, I can see that the dishes are not done. She was asked not to take barbie dolls in the shower with her to reduce the amount of time she spends in the shower. After her shower, she insists that she has no idea how the dolls got in the shower. My personal favorite occurred again just today. She spends Friday nights with my mother. Every Friday, we gather her clothes, and her pajamas, etc., Every Friday, it's the SAME thing. (I can't stress enough the SAME thing every week!)
