[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 309645, member: 2459"] Heh. THIS is going to be a list! :raspberry-tounge: When I go to CVS to pick up medications, most of the staff asks if it's for difficult child before I even finish my sentence. We don't lock the house but have a deadbolt on our bedroom door that is used often. Also, any security within our home (wood dowels to keep the windows from being opened easily from the outside for instance) isn't to keep strangers from breaking in but to keep difficult child from breaking into our room. We have shelving in our bedroom that we use to store food so difficult child doesn't eat it all in one sitting or eat some and toss the rest. We keep our laundry detergent in our room to keep difficult child from using a full scoop for 2 shirts and a pair of boxers. I keep my personal beauty products in a tote in my room for basically the same reason as the food. If there is an article in the local paper about a student at difficult child's school being arrested but doesn't mention the student's name, my friends will call to see if it was difficult child. Local cops will see me out and about and ask about difficult child. My doctor regularly asks me if I need anything for stress and/or depression. People ask before giving me gifts of "pretties" to see if it is something I can put out in my house or have to lock up. I get emails, phone calls, messages, etc. regarding any new treatments or miracle cures for Bipolar, ADHD or anything that resembles what people think difficult child has. Also in this category is advanced notice of any shows dealing with bratty kids such as Super Nanny, that come from clueless but helpful friends/relatives. When I buy needed household items I choose them by how much money I'm willing to throw out the window instead of looks or quality for when difficult child decides that the item would be much better suited for another use or just simply takes it apart to use one tiny spring for something. When cleaning and reorganizing our room, husband would show me something and ask where it went. When my reply was "In here" he knew without explanation that it was something I was not willing to put in difficult child's line of sight just yet. (And THIS my friends, is why my room is crammed full of household and decorative items.....and food, cleaning supplies, medications, etc.) We don't use any storage space in the cellar because we can't lock it. We have sometimes kept items at a friend's house because we had no room to keep it safe in our house. I'm sure there are lots more but I'll leave it at this for now. LOL [/QUOTE]
