[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 580571, member: 4264"] This would drive me crazy too. I've got an idea, that may or may not work, probably depends on if she would throw a fit that wasn't bearable or not. How about picking up a large rubbermaid type bin, or even a large box. Each time you KNOW that something has "disappeared", do NOT even bother asking her. Simply enter her room and take something comparable of hers, that she actually uses (in other words, not clothes she hasn't worn in 5 years). Put it in the bin/box. Set a timeline for return (Same day your items are returned, or same day as item is returned in GOOD SHAPE and SMOKE FREE, or whatever). Keep a sheet of paper taped to the bin/box. On it, write in bullet form, every item that disappears, as soon as it disappears and beside it write what item in the bin/box was taken and placed there until the return of your items. I would be livid personally, and sure this might be minor compared to some issues discussed on the board, but it is not in itself minor. Disrespect for the property of others is a big no no for most people, at least those of us who respect our things and therefore also respect others things. Stealing those things (because borrowing without asking is really, stealing) is a bigger no no. Lying about stealing this things? That's where I'd lose my koi, so to speak. Perhaps it's time for your daughter to see how cruddy it feels to look for something of HERS and find it just GONE, no notice, no warning, no asking, just GONE. Logical consequences and all that jazz. [/QUOTE]
