Re: nail varnish

As to the polish remover and the hardwood floor.... try a bit of it in an unobtrusive spot to see if it damages the wood.

Re: nail varnish

Well, she's no relation to me and I rarely speak to her. She gets no allowance as she's too unreliable to do chores. Same with her lazy brother. Not the way I raised my kids... but I take no hand in guiding these ones. It's not forever, and it could be worse, right?

Re: nail varnish

Oh dear Annie , she sounds a right lil shit

Cant you speak to her Parents ?

Is her Dad your Partner ?

Re: nail varnish

Yes, he is. When the girl was 11 she was sweet and helpful. I've lately given up on trying to treat her like a daughter as she's become deceitful, self-centred, spiteful and pretentious. She's rude to her dad unless she wants something, and she lies to both of us. Has stolen money, a piece of my jewellery (I have very few pieces so it was quickly missed) and she probably shoplifts the hair products and nail polish she seems to have in plenty. Her mom wants little to do with her and lives in another city. Oh well... it's not forever.

Re: nail varnish

Cripes Annie , how awful for you both

Agreed , it`s not forever but it must be terrible to live with just now though .

Can her Dad not toughen up with her ?

Re: nail varnish

Yes, but she pretends to be penitent, 'promises' to behave, lapses back into old behaviour. I think he's at a loss sometimes. Never went through this with my own girls.

Re: nail varnish

Annie, I went through that with my own daughter, she's now thirty seven and hasn't changed much so thank goodness yours isn't forever ......... My son on the other hand is a different kettle of fish, perfect!

Re: nail varnish

Sheeeeesh ! ! ! .......... I dunno what to suggest really , like you , I never had anything like that with any of my three ( all boys ) ......... Maybe she needs therapy or a good kick up the ar$e .......... One of the two would hopefully sort het out






Oh Maryl , i`m so sorry to read this .......... No point in asking if she`ll grow out of it then is there

Re: nail varnish

These are the sort of posts that make me very happy never to have had children ........

Re: nail varnish

Yes, but my own 3 girls are the light of my life and I miss having them all with me. I'm proud of how they've turned out and glad to see them doing well in their relationships and careers.
