We still have no internet at our house, so while you are in my thoughts and prayers daily, i cannot contact you daily.
Jess and I went shopping with my mom a week ago. She asked to go sit down on some furniture while we shoped, saying her knee hurt. Twenty min later I was paged by the store. She was in the office with a police officer with a lot of stuff in her purse that she tried to steal. no real answer why, she just liked the stuff nd wanted to look at it, wanted it. she was very upset, remorseful, and scared. we have a ticket, huge fine, and a court date in july.
We are disappointed, of course, and have put very strict rules for her being in public. The difference between a easy child who makes a mistake like this and difficult child is that the easy child doesn't fight the new rules. jess has been very good at following the rules, even when she is with husband and he forgets them.
No idea how to cope with this other than to stick with the new rules untl she is mature enough to make better choices. She isn't shopping much of anywhere for quite a while though.
