Trying led to a failure
So I went against myself today and let his daughter get to me. I just let her do something normally her father wouldn't do & I got shitted on to say the least. My last post I had told her she could spend a night out and to come home by 12 In the afternoon. Sounds a bit reasonable, right? So hours pass and around 2 in the afternoon she comes home. Her father asks her why she came in at that time if I told her 12 & she flat out lied and told her father I said something else. In which I didn't. She just lied like it was nothing & I WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE! I said wow I told you come home at 12 and she shouts out "You're lying! I know what you said! You always lie and my dad always believe YOU" This itch was nuts! I just shook my head and told my husband, while you're away , I'm not to be minding your children or help you "parent them" since according to your daughter "I'm lying all the time" He didn't even respond back. So I'm asking, would I be wrong to leave just because of his daughter? I'm seriously contemplating it.
She only did this to DEFLECT
She only did this to DEFLECT the attention away from her and onto you. A common technique that teens use.
Obviously he believes you because she said as much. And my argument would have been "Hang on, why would I tell you it was OK to come home at 2pm? Your Dad always says 12pm and I do what he says."
And definitely no more watching the kids for him.
