Kids these days

My 16 year old cousin left her t-shirt here from when she stayed over Monday night. DH went to work at 5am again and asked if I'd take SD to camp. I said sure, no problem.

I see SD walk out of her room and she is wearing cousin's shirt. It is a 'Three Olives Vodka' shirt. I call her into my room and ask her if she knows what's on it. Bewildered, she tells me 'no'. I tell her that it is a vodka brand and no way in hell is she wearing that to summer camp where BM will probably see her. 

She is still wearing it now that she is making cereal but she can stay home today if she thinks I'm taking her to school like that. No, ma'am. Also, she was told to start her laundry at 7 last night. After procrastinating until 9, she comes into our room and asks me for help. I wake DH up and he says that she waited too long and she'll just have to do it tomorrow (today) and if she doesn't finish the 5 basic chores of cleaning HER AREAS ONLY, she is not going camping with her friend like he allowed.

Not only is the shirt inapropriate for her age, she has no business helping herself and wearing cousin's shirt without having asked her cousin (any shirt, not just this particular one). 

School summer camp may have looser rules, but my school does not allow any tee-shirts that have drugs, alcohol, weapons or any kind, nor any suggestive graphics or statements.

I agree completely. DH called her also and told her to change and start her laundry. I told her that she can wash that shirt for cousin.

Why your husband is going to work at 5 am when he has SD there.  Why is not he taking her to camp.  Why are you taking care of her.  She doesn’t listen to you,  so why do you put up with it.  Why are you calling her father at work. You are taking care of her, you make the rules, not her father at work,  when he is at home he can tell her what to do,, when you are taking care of her then you tell her.  That how it works, if he doesn’t like it, then he takes care of her

^ ^ ^  All of this.
Plus she should not be wearing someone else's clothing.
Why did you not tell her to take it off immediately?
