My husband and I have been together for 71/2 years, married for 5. He has a daughter with his ex-wife and we have joint legal and physical custody. I have the Daughter every day with an exception of most every other weekend. She rides the bus to our house daily but only stays the nights on our week.(we do every other week with her mother)
Now with that being said....I am the one who has been doing homework, Dr. runs, school runs,etc...for 5 years.for these 5 years i have begged my husband to help. his daughter stays in trouble at school, she is disrespectful to every teacher she has ever had, she is called the crazy girl by the other student and has hardly any friends. She is no different at home, she doesn't follow rule, does what she want when she want and her dad only does something when i fall apart. Her mother says its our fault cause we don't cater to her..WHAT.... REALLY...We should do what ever she wants. Well my husband and his ex decided that I am to hard on their daughter and that they will take over... lol OK IT HAS BEEN 6 WEEKS and the child now is has 3 F's :jawdrop: on her progress report. I have her teachers calling ME. the child is not passing because she just doesn't do the work. Homework or classwork. her father spanks but the child doesn't care.no change. Her mother says it is our fault because we are doing it right...but she does NOTHING no homework. When the child gets sick she tells us to take her to the Dr.,when she needs cloths she calls and tells us to buy new ones and then complain because i didn't get name brand( her daughter is to good for Wal-mart )unless she buying. The ex does nothing but complain about how I do it.
My husband and I get along great except when it comes to the ex and his daughter...and that's daily.I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel what do I do?????? :?
He tells me that it is gonna get better but i have been waiting for 71/2 years.
thought getting joint custody wold make it better but NOT
IT IS NEVER GONNA GET BETTER!!!!!
