[quote=Anonymous]OP, in looking at your initial post, it appears that there are two big issues here regarding DD. The first is the last minute requests for school items. This should be handled like "your failure to plan is not my problem." You should set aside time each week to handle these requests - either a weekly Target run or an Amazon order. But the second issue needs some more thought on your part. DD clearly wants to spend more time with her friends and you, and you need to figure out how to make that happen. Why can't you drop her off for dance practice and then let her go to dinner with her friends? And why can't you figure out a rotation with other parents so that you can be the host parent once a month or so? Also, if you and DD both stay up late at night, you should dial back some of your working then to bond with her. Even if it means you will spend your Sunday mornings at Starbucks working. [/quote]
