I’ve Had It
I think I told you that I had let my daughter back into my house after kicking her out for stealing and that only led to her stealing some more from me and getting kicked out again.
Well recently I had a jewellery show. And there was a woman I’d done business with before who wanted to bring some of her stuff to sell at the show as well. My daughter showed up that day and wanted to spend the night. I let her. Wouldn’t you know that after that, before I had taken the woman’s stuff back to her, I noticed that a white purse was missing. And this was a white purse that my daughter had been looking at and talking about how much she liked it. Hmmm, who has to pay for that missing white purse?
Now, after seeing how hot it’s going to be this coming week, I decided to go get some light clothes ready for work. I figured I’d wear a skirt, after all, I just picked up a couple of new skirts when shopping a few weeks ago. Well, whaddayaknow? One of my new skirts is missing. A skirt I HAVEN’T EVEN WORN YET is gone, and I paid an arm and a leg for these clothes because of the store I bought them from.
I can’t fucking believe that every time I let that girl into this house, something else is missing. She’s not even my size for Christ’s sake. And when I ask her about it, she always denies it. “Oh no, it wasn’t me. Not this time. I know I’ve taken things before, but I didn’t take anything this time”.
That girl is not coming into this house again. How many fucking chances did I give her? And every time I turn around, she steals something else from me. I’ve had it. Anything else and the police are being called and she’ll have a fucking criminal record because she chose to steal from her mother.

You have a good point, Matt, but we tried the counselling when she was younger. She talked the talk but nothing changed and I don’t believe we ever got to the root of the problem. And if she has a problem with my snookey (who’s her stepdad and she’s known her whole life), there’s not much to be done – although I know there are no improprieties there. She seems good with him. If anyone was a culprit of screwing up a kid’s head, I would assume it was her dad.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
Family counselling? My cousin’s family did that, and it turned out a lot of the behaviour was linked to one of the men my aunt lived with.. I wont go into details, but especially if your daughter is stealing things that aren’t of any actual use to her maybe it’s something else other than money that motivates her…
