difficult child got fired from her retail job in mid-June for stealing. Mr. Ostrich believes her story about how she was accidentally keying in a second coupon after scanning a first....claims she "didn't know" double coupons are not allowed. THIS after having told him that she was fired, over the phone no less, for not meeting her sales quota. This is a major national retailer. I don't think they made a mistake in this matter. Plus she signed a promisory note agreeing to make restitution. He believes her because, when the letter for loss prevention arrived (she doesn't have a key to his mailbox), she quickly provided the answer. Oh, it must be the truth then. So, why the lie in the first place if she is so misunderstood? Why, she was fired for BOTH things.
So. It is now mid-July and she has made almost no effort to get a job. She whiles away her days watching netflix, posting on tumblr and facebook and hanging out with her dufus boyfriend.
But she tells daddy she is applying EVERYWHERE. . and he believes her.
He told her when she was fired that she had to come up with the $65 for her license stickers (due at the end of June). He would not pay it. Then he did - as a birthday gift. He told her he would not pay her car insurance (due this week) to the tune of $611. He would take her keys if she did not come up with the money. When he rescued her with the license plates, I pointed out that all she is learnign is to wait until the last minute and she will be rescued. If you do this with the insurance, you'll seal the deal. "OH, I am NOT paying the insurance. She pays it or I TAKE THE KEYS."
Guess what.
Yep, daddy paid the insurance. Of course, she has promised to pay him $51 per month. How, pray tell? How on earth will he enforce this? The insurance is PAID.
Today, she posted on FB that she's watching the Order of the Phoenix ... to cheer herself up.
I have no intention of speaking to him about this. He is the master of the excuse "why, she can't look for a job without a car." Sheesh!!!!!
She simply never has to suffer any consequences. Drop out of school with no notice to parents? Dont' worry, dad will let you work part time - or not at all - continue to employ his cleaning lady so you don't have to lift a finger, subscribe to neflix and not make you pay rent. Get fired for stealing? Don't worry, daddy believes you - poor misunderstood thing. Steal money and vicoden from daddy? Well, he can't prove it.....can he?
Thank you for letting me rant. There is nowhere - and I mean NOWHERE - in the real world where I can go with this and not sound like a crazy person.
Sigh.
