I am so sick of this 17yo.
Tonight she has had a fall blown arguement with her dad over money.
complaining there is no money for food and things for her because he goes on date night with me (once a fortnight- the only time we have our time)
I actually had to step in and stop the arguement. I was furious with this stupidity when will it end???
I cant even type everything as I am so utterly shocked by it all

no idea ... he started a stupid argue late at night about her guinea pigs and it esculated into how we have no money . He was totally gobsmacked with what came out of her mouth and I stopped it before he did/said something he regrets. They both have. temper and are very alike, actually she is exactly like her BM which is half the issue im sure!

I think the day when parents as a whole largely decided to expect nothing from their kids. No contribution to the betterment of the family. They were allowed to just become takers, and no one is the better for it!

oh Im with you all the way!
she needs to take responsibility for things, be grateful for what she has, and stop acting liking a spoilt 2yr old.
my SO also needs to parent without feeling guilty all the time.

Well to be fair to the cat - there's no food, so what else he he supposed to eat }:)

(sorry, couldn't help myself)

My SD14 has also complained about how there is no money to entertain HER and get HER what she wants and for Daddy to take HER and SS out on weekends because of me and my DD's.... if WE didn't live here and Daddy didn't spend all his money on us he'd be spending big on HER apparently...

(this was all told to my 12yodd.)

Fact is there was a shortage of money because Daddy was paying BM so much bloody CS. NOT because he was supporting us.

Now he is living in a caravan and all three of them are there together in the one tiny van with no hot water, no bathroom, basic cooking and all sleeping in the one room. Guess Princess didn't realise how good her life was, hoping its sinking in now.

Well of course it is your fault! Isn't all else that is wrong because of you? That seems to be the prevailing logic, sadly.

Heavens I hope her father put her in her proper place. The temerity of a child to tell a parent how to spend money. Please tell me that she was set straight.

I hope there is no guilt over her remark. I once dated a guy who wanted to split the checks even on my birthday after his daughter suggested that he should not be spending what would one day be her money on me! Yep, she was an adult, and no we are not together any longer.

Sorry for the grief! You are utterly right to feel shocked and upset by this inappropriate act!

im afraid no he hasnt spelt it out for her. he is a 'bury his head in the sand ' type.
Dont worry though ive made up for it by ensuring he and i have an extra date night tonight and we are going out for dinner just the two of us and oh yes she knows about it!
