[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 302409, member: 6546"] [B]UPDATE:[/B] When difficult child arrived home yesterday, she did try to launch into a few tirades (that had nothing to do with the missing necklace accusation from the night before)--but I stopped her by having us all sit down as a family to discuss the "stolen" items. I told both kids that I had thoroughly searched bedrooms and I had found nothing. Then I explained to difficult child that I was confused that I had not seen this necklace that was supposedly missing (which kind of started her up her attitude again--[I]Well, Dad knew about it[/I]!!!)--especially because she claims that she used it as a decoration for a shampoo bottle in the shower. I said it seemed to me that if there was a bottle of shampoo wearing a necklace, I would have noticed it. At that point her face turned bright red and she LAUGHED. Last night, when I questioned this very thing, it was a tantrum about how I never believe her. Today, after I have gone through the trouble of thoroughly disproving her claim....NOW she can admit it was a silly story. So the whole thing was a SET-UP. difficult child came of with the missing necklace story just to get her brother in trouble AND we had to endure her angry **** until we could dis-prove her lie. :angry: This is the stuff that makes me just want to pull my hair out. It's a lie. She KNOWS it's a lie....but she's furious because we don't [I]believe[/I] the lie...and in order to get her to stop the angry behavior, we have to come up with all this evidence to prove the lie. Somehow husband and I have this backwards, I think... [I]{{{{sigh}}}}[/I] Thanks for listening, and for all the great advice. by the way--Susie, I don't consider it stealing either. Removing contraband from my child's room is my duty as a parent. --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
