SS lying getting worse

Ndsales

Ever since SS found out he has to go back to BM's house at the end of the summer, his lying has gotten out of control, to the point that daycare wants to bring CPS in. Our normal Daycare is on vacation this week, so we are at another daycare. SS told her this morning that he has no clothes other that what he was wearing and doesnt have a bed and has to play with baby toys or sit in his room when not at daycare. SS and I fought this morning because the temp is in the 90s again this week, and he wanted to wear a long sleve shirt and sweats. I kept trying to get him to change (i know pick my battles, but it is hot and i didnt want to have to leave work to bring him clothes he refused to bring shorts and a t shirt with). Well daycare called and I had to bring SS clothes or he had to go home for the day becaue he complained that he was too hot and didnt have any clothes. Well when daycare started asking questions he told them he only has 2 outfits one warm and one shorts and he wore the shorts yesterday. SS did get his ps2 taken away for a week already for lying and his dirtbike for the rest of the summer, but his room is full of clothes and toys. He then told her his back hurt because he has been sleeping on the floor (he is in his bed every morning when i wake him up) because he doesnt have a bed. um he has bunkbeds in his room he can sleep on either bunk. She is a licensed provider, and informed me that by law she is obligated to call CPS. I was ready to tell her that I was not brininging SS shorts before she told me this. I have told him before he needs wear shorts, and when he wears sweats and a long sleve shirt he has to wear them for the rest of the day. BM doesnt seem to care that he is lying, she thinks it is funny (yes, we have had to start sunday skype contact again with her per a court order).

Then let her call CPS.  If she is not willing to listen to you or if you can't prove he is acting out - then let her call. What's the worst thing that will happen?  They visit and find out that he's lying? 

Next time he tries pulling something that doesn't make any sense, then counter it and prepare for what does make sense.  For example, today you should have delivered him to day care with an extra set of cooler clothes appropriate for the weather.

Is he in counseling?  Then let his therapist know and if his therapist isn't helping - find someone else.  Sometimes it takes the right one before things click.  If he doesn't have a therapist - get one. Now.

Take pictures of his room, clothes, toys etc. and share them with your DCP when you drop him off in the morning.
