[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Can she carpool to some of the extra curriculars? [/b]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]

Carpool only works if OP's family can do their share of the carpooling, which it doesn't sound like they can with their current system.[/quote]
