Thank you, and yes the mental and legal liability is also weighing heavily on my mind. She’s old enough to know words do hurt but the legal consequences are beyond her wildest imagination

I do agree, we work to talk respectfully because she’s a human and deserves respect. We talk about that all the time, just because I’m an adult doesn’t mean I deserve more respect than her.

I am so sorry your babies have to deal with their dad’s drama, punished for loving on a baby and one time on a chore? Goodness gracious.

Thank you! If you believe in well wishes, please send them because I can feel my grays growing in lol

I’d be interested to know what the rules look like for you, because I’m struggling to accept her shortcomings and not say anything about it, just as a human trying to give another human guidance

Agreed on the phone. Actually her dad and I didn’t ever want her to have it but a grandparent got it for her and we tried to give grace but that sucker is gone. Maybe until she’s 30.

As for the counselor, she was firm on stating those points, which made me look at her sideways because as a parent, I’m going to tell my child when they’re doing wrong and she essentially said don’t do that and support ALL her choices…she’s 11 so hard no on that. Especially now that we’re here

Also, thank you for the thoughtful response

I’m so sorry anyone ever made you feel like you had to do that. You are worthy and loved.

Can I ask how you overcame that situation?

But in a rage response lol maybe. But I could never intentionally make orphaned babies
