Hi - looking for any advice, tips - my 9 year old hormonal daughter. Her father and I officially split last November, it was suppose to be civil but now he wants money etc so it's not nice. Her dad has brought new girlfriend in picture, he talks to her and they decide on the schedule - which I think is wrong for her development and so do a lot of experts but hey..
The problem is I'm having a hell of a time trying to focus her on school, attitude, bed time etc but I'm always the heavy and still am - Am I wrong to not give in and to emphasis homework etc. It's not that she doesn't play but I'm my instinct says letting her get away with things because he does and he's the fun parent and I would like a bit of sunny disposition in my life is not what's best for her. I'm not talking boot camp at home just taking responsibility of your stuff, not spending on every little want - that kind of thing.
I'm just tired of always making bad choices/calls.
