Is it possible to "upgrade" to shared custody?

Understood... but you aren't technically "babysitting". She is YOUR daughter, so you are just spending time together...

Like IP said.... you're "parenting".

so what if she makes you feel like a free baby sitter. You are not a babysitter, you are looking after your child and should grab any chance you get.

As for the teenagers, well the boy is just looking out for his mother. Should he be so involved, no, but he feels like he is looking after his little sister and mom. Just ignore him. As for the teens being disrespectful, partying etc. Do you remember what it was like being a teen? LOL I know I do and I was no angel.

Cash flow appears to be a problem. Have you considered a consumer proposal with respect to your debt so that you can now live within your means independently.
