[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 287380, member: 1233"] I think that your daughter has given you EXCELLENT reason to TRUST her. She is avoiding one kid who is making bad choices, she is developing her own interests rather than going "with the crowd", she is taking time to develop her interests and all these are great reasons to trust her. I am glad you had a talk with her and she opened up. The issue with used feminine products seems to be universal with our kids. I buy the little bags that are in the dog aisle at the dollar store for Jessie. They used to have them for diapers but no longer do. She has to tie them into a baggie or risk having me chew her out and make her scrub the entire bathroom (sinks, tub, counter, wipe down lightswitches and faucets and doorknobs, clean the toilet, mop the floor - even wash all the laundry in the hamper!) which she hates to do. since seeing these makes husband barf, I feel it is reasonable to ask her to tie them in little bags. Even to use Walmart bags if she runs out because she hasn't told me she needs them. (She even used the bag the toilet paper was wrapped in the other day because she KNEW I would skin her alive if she left one unwrapped in my bathroom!) As much as you can, let go of this issue. She clearly has the social contacts, and is comfortable in social situations. Trust her until she gives you a clear reason not to. [/QUOTE]
