[QUOTE="myfirstandlast, post: 294076, member: 3420"] She came home that Sunday as expected. Nothing has changed. Same cycles of doing nothing, unless she wants something really bad, then acting the angel and doing whatever asked until she gets what it is she wants. Still running around behind our backs. Still lying. Nothing remotely like an apology. Trying to get back with the first young man she ran off with, the 19 year old. Telling him she's pregnant with his baby. Finding this out from his mother, who knows they've been trying to sneak out to see each other. Probably successful because she's still sleeping all day, still has these "headaches" for no reason. Telling friends that she's going to be moving back with her mom before school starts. Only know this because we still monitor the laptop (keylogger). Calling boys (men) with her sister's cell phone after hours. She doesn't care if she's not allowed to do something; if she wants to, she does anyway. Last Friday we get a call, she had gone with her mom for the weekend and on the way there, they stopped at a supermarket and she got busted trying to shoplift. Store didn't involve police, is handling it internally, and don't know what they are going to do for sure (had to send the incident report in to corporate, is what we're told). Still all nice to me to my face, still argumentative with hubby when he says no to something, acts like the shoplifting bust was "no big deal" -- whether it is because it was a small item or because she's probably just getting yet another slap on the wrist. Sick of this dancing-around-the-problem we always seem to be stuck in. Even if we confront her on an issue, she denies it or blows up. She's supposed to be working off her debt but doesn't do anything unless she really wants something "now" and waits all day to do it. Should I confront her about the pregnancy thing? I know she's had a period since the "negative" test at the doctor's office, or at least her mom said she started. I honestly think the pregnancy thing is a ploy to manipulate the ex-boyfriend, who she is saying will buy her a cell phone, even though we say she has to earn the money herself. She has picked up job applications but hasn't turned anything in. Didn't know how to fill them out. Really can't work past the end of August due to school, has no transportation, and looking for a job with no qualifications in a state with 15% and rising unemployment. (Job search prospects dismal at best.) Hubby does NOT want her going back to her mom's and I get WHY but honestly don't think that it is helping her to be here and I know it is harming us. :/ [/QUOTE]
