[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 633444, member: 15801"] I agree Kathy that yo are supporting her because she is doing the right things for now.... and it makes sense for you to help her keep moving forward... and if she slips you let her fall. I will say the other day with my difficult child I did let him keep the extra 5$ from dunkin donuts... and then I had to give him the cash to pay the dmv (they would not take a credit card but they told me how much he needed so I gave him that amount). I really did not want to infantalize him by standing with him at every moment.... really want to let him handle as much as possible. Well when he came back he gave me back $40 and said it was not as much as they said. It crossed my mind that maybe they gave him back more and he kept some of it.... but I decided to let it go. I hope he didnt do that but I was not going to search him for it.... and really if he was going to do that why would he give me back anything. Dont know I took the chance.
