On top of everything else

[B65]

I have been missing a few things around my house the last few months and put it down to stress and me just losing things, anyhow last night I put something in my hall closet, and my 15 yr old babysitter who Is the sweetest girl that lives across the road came over, This morning i go to my closet, what i put in there is gone, Dh and I racked our brains and everything else went missing after she had been over before also. It all adds up to around $400 worth of stuff. I am so upset and felt really off all day.
I just seem to always have crap..... always.

Sounds like the sweet babysitter just might not be so sweet.

Sorry for you, that stinks.

If you can prove it (she fesses up) I'd call the cops. Just me though. If not you, then someone else. I'm sure you're not the only person she babysits for.

Oh B - I am so sorry for you. If this isn't enough and now that... You have to sit her down and tell her that if she does not fess up you are going to tell her parents. Just tell her if she tells the truth and gives the stuff back that it will just be between you and her. If not I would go to the parents. I know thats probably not what you want to do, but you have it. Is she taking small stuff or big stuff too? Its a shame you just cannot trust anyway..
Sorry B.

Before you sit down and talk to her, I would put one of those hidden cameras in the house. Best to have proof first! Sorry you've got to deal with this cr*p right now too...
Hang in there.

Just curious, are they really expensive? How about just a little camera? That would be fine, just put out some "bait" and BAM!! You'll have your answer...

from $30 upwards.... I will update all of you.....

That's a great idea - it's always good to have proof, especially when dealing with teenagars! Sorry that you're having this problem on top of everything else.

Sorry you are going thru all of that with your sitter. I have to agree...the hidden camera idea is just lovely. Keep us posted.
