children

I don't know about you guys, but the generation of kids right now is so entitled. I am having so much trouble out of my 18 year old. I have been so at odds with her for the last couple of years, and now that she is an adult, she thinks that she does not need a curfew, that she does not need to help around the house and when she does, she is the only one who does anything, that she is a better mother than me. I will admit, my depression has gotten the better of me. I have taken to my bed and slept more than I need to. It is easier, at times, than dealing with the mess my life has gotten. My family does not understand the dx of fibromylgia, despite my teaching and getting them web sites, more information and the doctor telling them. They believe that I should just get up, go all day, work night shift and function swinging between the two time frames. Samantha is 10 1/2. I have been doing this since she was 3 months old. I am tired. I have tried to go to day shift, and I missed more of my family's life than I cared to. My oldest is pulling stuff that you and I would never do...She has run up my credit card, stays out to all hours of the night, if she comes home at all. She also has used bad language at both her father and myself. Now for you saying that we need to put her in her place or telling us, she should not get away with it, just try to discipline her. We have yelled, screamed, talked nice, grounded her, taken away her car, etc...She will act right for a few days to weeks and then back to the same way. I am to the point, I want her out of my house...I have told her she has to Friday to move out. I have given this child everything, looked the other way and basically tried to give her the life I never had...over compensation anyone. I did put her out of the house for three days while Scott was gone..my reward..she says I am a bad mom and Scott says it is not the answer and that I was wrong to do this...Two days ago, he was mad because she stayed out all night on new years eve. He did not sleep because he was so worried about her. She also did not come home several days after that until 3-4 in the morning. The last time he worked, 530 in the morning and she lied about it. He wanted me to talk to her, while the others were out of the house, hence the Friday deadline...He came home, still upset, they got into a screaming match and she proceeded to cuss him out...He took it like a champ...No he does not treat him like she does me..haha...Now he feels that she is going to mind her p/q...Last night we both worked, Sabrina did not go to bed until 330 because she could not sleep...her sister, not home...need I say more...and lets not forget the day I came home early with a h/a, Scott also was working...with her boyfriend at my house, in her room with the door closed...time 300 in the morning....
