[quote=Anonymous]Everyone criticizing OP for her work choice - give it a rest. We don't know her personal circumstances. Maybe she's supporting family overseas, or was decimated by the Great Recession. Moms have a right to work. What's going on here is totally normal behavior from a tween: they want more than you can give. Plus, OP/DH don't have enough help or haven't figured out how to organize their home life yet. OP, there's some good advice on here. You need more help! Even if that's just a phone app to help you all with school work calendars, etc. Maybe hire a babysitter for the weekend and take your daughter out for one-on-one time. Have family meeting on Sunday to figure out what needs to get done for the week. Can she carpool to some of the extra curriculars? Your tween wants to know you've made the effort for her, and organizing a ride to and from a favorite activity can be that involvement from you she's looking for. [/quote]
