[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 183903, member: 2459"] Nope, not your fault at all. My difficult child is bad about this. As he's gotten older, it has calmed down but the issue is always there with husband and I. As Bran said, we hate feeling that way but when something comes up missing, we always think difficult child. And more times than not, we're right. With difficult child it's not always money although if I have cash in my purse, it's locked in our room. (Deadbolt on the bedroom door because he's been able to break in when there was just key lock doorknob) He takes anything he wants. Sometimes it's to use, sometimes it's to "make" stuff. He will even take my jeans which just astounds me. I'm 5'2" and about 155...he's 6'2" and a bit less in weight. Somehow though, he makes them work. In fact he has taken all types of my clothes with the exception of undies and bras. Basically, anything around the house that's not nailed down or locked up is fair game to him for whatever reason. He has some big entitlement issues and a complete lack of respect for other's belongings and we have yet to find a way to stop it. From what we can tell, he's always been like this. (We got him as a foster child when he was 9) Can't really offer advice other than to keep things locked up at all times when not in use or with you but I can offer hugs. been there done that and it hoovers.
