I'm not sure if I'm looking for advice or just need to vent. I had my daughter 15 when I was 17. She is now the oldest of 5. Her dad has never been consistent with visiting her over the years and when she does go to his house she has no rules or responsibilities. From the time she was little I have always done my best with building him up to her and making excuses why he didn't call or come. He has done the exact opposite. Always telling everyone including her that I kept her from him. Which is not true. When she was 7 she had to be put on anxiety medicine because while she was with him for them summer he and his family repeatedly told her that I was a bad mom and she was going to live with him full time. Things finally calmed down about 5 years ago. He still doesn't see her that much but now she is the one making excuses for him. "Oh I know dad you have work, it's alright" ect. Over the past year now she has completely changed towards me. We have no relationship anymore. She constantly is disrespectful and hateful towards me. It's always you're always working you never do anything with me ect. I work 60-72 hours a week to make sure that my kids are taken care of. I know that I fail at being a mom. I am exhausted all the time. The last few times that she has come home, she talks back, lies, refuses to do her chores ect. Tells me that she is not my slave and does not have to clean. According to her, her dad and stepmom tell her that I am just using her to be my maid and babysit. She very rarely has to watch her siblings. The chores are super easy like, do the dishes, clean the counters sweep, take out the trash, fold her own clothes ect. Which is split between her and the 3 older children. She told me earlier that she is going to live with him and there's nothing that I can do about it. I give up. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3goVdWK
