[quote=Anonymous] [/b]Do avoid working weekends I often am working until 12-1am on weeknights[b]

So, are you working at home or the office will 12-1am? Is nanny or somebody home with the kids? You say your DH also works a lot. Who is cooking and feeding the kids? Do you do it and then work late at home, or your DH does dinner and bed time? I think the fact that you say your DD has stopped even asking to go places where her friends are going means that if you are working from home, your younger kids are sleeping, or in your DD's case awake, but feeling alone. Also, why is your 12 year old awake so late? When does she wake up to go to school?
I think you need somebody to drive your kids, if during the day they are in daycare or aftercare, then you need a nanny that can drive to be there for your kids in the evenings. Things are only going to get worse, as in high school there is a lot of socializing and going out, and your DD will feel even more resentful. You say you can't do any of these because of your job, so how about a compromise where you hire somebody to do it? It is not going to be the same as you spending time with your DD, which I say is what she wants, but at least she will get to do something fun.
