First is constant lying. Soemtimes to get out of trouble, sometimes to get attention and other times it makes no sense. And by constant I mean all day everyday to where we have trouble believing anything that she says. Some of this when I ask her about it she doesn't seem to see it as lying. She even tried to lie to my husband about my husband!
Next is doing just the opposite of what she is told. Like yesterday she wanted to ride a bike that she is way to big for and my husband told her to put it back and he turns back around a few minutes later and she is riding it anyway. I found a bunch of dirty socks and underwear in her dresser drawer so I told her don't put them in there put them in the laundry so then I find dirty clothes under her bed a few days later. Any ideas? these are just a few examples.
Then yelling she wants to leave and hates it here because she got in trouble and then she proceeded to spend hours after they went to bed telling her sisters that she wants to leave and would rather live on the streets and eat grass then live here and she tells them she is going to get pregnant and married so she can move out then she will leave her husband and baby and be on her own like she wants (as her cousins did). When I talked to her later she said she was just angry and doesn't want to leave. Ideas please.

Also on a totally different subject does anyone know any sites I can order AA hair products from. The girls had some gel called ZOTOS Acclaim Hair Shiners Styling Gel and it works wonderful and now we are out and I haven't found a place that carries it yet.

Thanks for any help in advance. Deana
