Recently the DH & I have witnessed (& heard snip-its through the boys) his X is acting more like the BFF than the Mother she should be. For example: How many of you would let your 16yr daughter stay out all night till 2 or 3 a.m.? You call all over hell's half acre looking for this "child" & when she finally decides to grace your presence.....her punishment is....brace yourself... Losing her phone for a week. WHAT THE????? I'm pretty sure the punishment that I would've endured by my parents would be considered child abuse these days.
