[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 362964, member: 1233"] kudos for not strangling her. I was livid when Wiz was shoplifting. I don't think the no stores is going to work for the summer. You already cannot leave her at home alone. This means that unless one of you is with her, no one can go to the store. It will make logistics very tough when she is at home. Maybe she will need to go to the group home when you have to run errands? Another thing you can do, or add to what you have, is to refuse to let her take a purse and to make her empty out ALL pockets, tucked in clothing, take off shoes, etc... before and after she enters a store. At least after. When Wiz gave me grief on this I sewed his pockets shut and made him confirm that they were sewn closed before we left any store. REALLY upset him, esp because I didn't stop if someone he knew was there. It took about 3 go rounds with his pants pockets to get him to stop taking the stitches out. The last time I used bright pink thread to sew them shut. Told him that any more would get the same color. And an embroidered flower on the tushie. A BIG one. He had a FIT about that idea. Until I gave him the option of that or of having "SHOPLIFTER" written on the back of all his shirts and the legs of his pants. He said the sewn pockets were fine after I offered THAT. (His therapist thought this was awesome and after he left the room she just laughed and laughed. Largely at the look on his face when he realized I WOULD do one or the other. It really was funny, looking back.) [/QUOTE]
