Posters here are crazy - OP is saying she works long hours and has difficulty accommodating frivolous requests for last-minutes changes in schedule.

You're all raising spoiled brats if you think OP should bend over backwards to fulfill all these capricious whims.

I agree they are crazy, but the OP, too.

This isn't about rather standard frivolous requests.  We could rewrite the OP's post as the following:

[i]I made some choices that aren't working out well for my daughter.  Please suggest ways that I can get her to complain less.  Be aware that I am very busy and probably can't spend any additional time with her.  Please give me a magic pill that will make her complain less.
[/i]

When I read the original post, it was clear to me that the daughter was acting fairly typical but also could not be clearer that she wasn't getting the emotional support she needs.

When I read the original about "I cant do X because we only have one car" and they clearly have the $$, I thought there were some screwed up priorities.
