Well, this is how things went after coming back from going with my friend today. I did get to eat lunch out. My husband got done working early and I told him about the money. He said I have enough ones on me to get lunch and I called our bank and there was a little money there too. Luckily he gets paid tomorrow. Anyway, had a good time today. Helped my friend find an outfit to wear to a wedding and had a nice time. I thought all day about that darn 20 bucks. I talked with my friend about it and also my husband. I decided that I would confront the girl and ask her for the money back. I sent my daughter to ask her to come and talk to me. She refuses, coming up with varying excuses. I sent my son and his friend A over to look in her room for the money, but they had a book fair at school today and my daughter said she came home from school with a new necklace. She made a comment to my daughter on the bus that a friend was going to give her 20 to spend today. Funny. Anyway, when my son went over and they told H's aunt she told them to go through her stuff and that even though H lives in her house she is not responsible for her. That I will have to deal with her Uncle. H is his neice and has custody of her. So that is where everything stands now. I will not be letting this girl in my home any longer. My daughter will no longer be friends with her. This is so sad to me. I feel so betrayed. Darn it. She knows that we don't have a lot of money. She knows we need a new roof and a new water heater and a new furnace. She has been over here and knows our situation.My home is now and forever closed to any new friends my kids make. My son does have 2 very close friends who have been in and out of my home a lot and I trust both of them, no doubt. Live and learn.

I am so sorry to hear about everything you have had to deal with.But please dont think all your kids friends will be the same.Just as you have said live and learn ,just be a little more careful.we had a similiar situation on my daughters birthday.My kids never get presents from anyone except me and my husband.but it was the day before my daughters b-day and we ran into her uncle at the store.she told him it was her b-day and surpriseingly he gave her seven dollars he had in his pocket.well we invited one of her friends to go bowling with us the next day to celebrate.my daughter had her money from her uncle to spend later at the store.her girlfriend kept trying to get her to buy her all kinds of junk and insisted she would carry the money for my daughter since my daughter didnt have pockets.i talked my daughter into just saveing her money until she found something worth while to buy.the girl was suppossed to spend the night but at 1;00am called her mom to pick her up..she still had the money in her pocket.i told my daughter no big deal she probably forgot, to just call and say we would pick the money up.the girl said she didnt have it...i told my daughter if she didnt give it back she was never talking to her again.it went as far as the mother telling me it was her daughters money and then she said you snooze you loose.its not like we have all kinds of money and we sure as hell never have someone give us money so for her uncle to give her that and have someone steal it i was beyond pissed. sorry to get carried away its just that your situation reminded me of my own.we also help people and open our house to people only to have things come up missing..take care jen,many hugs xoxoxo

Well Jen. Banning the kid from the house and your own kids is the right thing to do in this case. You have been nothing but kind and loving towards her. She is young and will probably make many more mistakes throughout her life. You can not help her until she comes to her own realization about what she is doing. Perhaps if she changes her ways one day she will remember back with fondness of how good you were to her even though she behaved badly. (((HUGS)))
