My husband’s ex is trying to be a control freak about their daughter who lives with he and I.?

My step-daughter moved in with us 2 years ago because her mother couldn’t handle her. She was sneaking out (age 11), drinking, skipping school, and hanging with a much older crowd. Since she’s been with us, she’s on the honor roll, misses school only when she’s sick or it’s approved, is popular at school and we have a great relationship with her.

Her mother recently moved back from TN and is now trying to control everything my step-daughter does from 150 miles away! Yesterday was her parent-teacher conference which she insisted on attending. Fine, great!! When I got there, she wouldn’t let me get a word in edgewise, was rude to both the teacher and myself, and insisted that the teacher call ONLY HER with any problems!! She said her schedule is more flexible! SHE”s 150 miles away!!

I work 10 minutes from the school and my boss would let me take care of anything that needs to be taken care of!
She’s driving me insane and I don’t know what to do about her.
My husband does have physical custody.

As for trying to keep her mother involved, she refuses to have anything to do with either my husband or myself. She does not feel that working with us is in the child’s best interest. She has emotional problems and I’m sure that she does hate the fact that her daughter is not with her. I am not unsympathetic towards that fact, I’m just tired of raising her daughter and being treated like poo.
She also refuses to pay any child support and is living with her father rent free.
(she’s 31)

are you a health freak?

I just want to know what other moms think, my daughter is almost 1 now and i just thought i get some other moms opinion on eating habits.

When I was growing up my mother restricted all junk food up until I was in school. I just remember not being able to have any sort of sweets like juice, cookies, candies you name it. I knew all kids were having it but I wasnt allowed to. At one point when she gave me juice she would mix so much water in there that you can barely even taste sugar. From young I became food obsessed. When I entered junior high, I went nuts. I ate everything and anything. My mom had no control over it what so ever because i was at school or playing with friends after school. In high school I experienced major eating disorder. I was binge eater. Since that point on i battled with my weight issue. I dont want to blame my mother for doing what she thought it was best for me. But i feel that she went some what overboard.

I promised myself that my daughter wont have to stand where I did growing up. No matter how much i want to try to give her what I didnt have young i just cant. I must say that I have became a health freak my own mother. As much as I dont want to I just cant control myself from being so stricted.

What really is the right boundary??

Help me?!!! My ex is a drug addicted freak, and it hurts my daughter?

Hi, my daughter is 11 years old. Her father, whom I have been split from for 10 years, is addicted to meth. He is in and out of jail, and rarely sees her. Last time he saw her (at his mother’s house during a visit) he spit in her hair!!!!!!. I forbid him to see her until he gets clean. She doesn’t want to see him, but I can tell how hard it is for her. He refuses to go to a rehab. I just want her to be okay. She is always asking “will my dad ever quit taking drugs?” and i don’t know the answer. I feel horrible. On top of everything I am a struggling single mother, and haven’t ever got a penny of child support, so he is in arrears for 10 years of child support. Help!!!!!
