[quote=Anonymous]Your daughter sounds like my sister (and her husband).  They are self-centered and before their wedding all I heard was this is our big day and we get to do whatever we want.  They told the photographer who to take photos of and what thy wanted (there photographer was awful, very cheesy photos but there were almost none of my parents).  Growing up my sister was a squeaky wheel who got all the grease.  She wound up being self-centered and s horrible to my Mom.  My Mom spoiled her and my sister just wants more.  It is so ad to see and my heart hurts for my mother.  When my husband and I got married we paid for most of he wedding ourselves (his parents gave us money toward the wedding which was very nice and generous).  My parents did not have the money to contribute which was fine.  They gave us all hey old growing up and I will always be thankful for that.  We included our parents in the wedding, asked their opinion about various planning aspects, and really tried to make sure that it was a joyous day or them as well.  I have often wondered why my sister turned out to be so spoiled and narcissistic and my other sisters and I feel gratitude toward our parents.  What I have concluded is that my parents enorced limits with us and they did not enforce them with my sister.  She would basically whine and hound my parents until she got her way.  She wound up spoiled and entitled.  I don't put up with my sisters crap anymore and my Mom finally realized that no matter what she did for my sister, it would never be enough so she stopped trying.  It has taken a while but my siter is finally realizing what a good Mom she had.  Things still are not perfect but they are better.

I would stop doing what your daughter wants.  Stop giving because it sound like she doesn't 't appreciate it.  She may start to appreciate you when you stop doing what she wants.  Good luck.
