I have 4 kids and one on the way. Three are from my previous marraige. My eldest DD is 17, finished her exams and is awaiting to hear about a university place. She speaks to me like dirt and has reduced me to tears quite a few times. She stays in bed most of the morning, hasn't bothered looking for a summer job, doesn't help with cooking, cleaning and parks herself in front of the computer for the majority of the day. The other day I went into her room and removed her dirty soiled underwear off the floor and her used sanitary towels.
My DP did something stupid and managed to get behind on our rent. I managed to sort it by borrowing and some financial juggling. Some of the money I used is from a grant I got for my 4 kids (300 for my eldest). If I didn't sort this I would have ended up homeless, there was no other way. She's demanded 'her' money because I got it for her. She's also demanded I give her 'her' share of my child benefit but I don't get any for her now she's not in full time education (not living in UK although I'm from there). She also told me I've to have £400 for her deposit for accommodation for university but I just don't have it. On top of that she expects me to pay for her flights to get to my sisters who she is going to stay with before she heads off. I also pay her mobile phone bill every month.
My DD banned me from taking her to university but now my sister is taking her. She banned me from adding her on FB, but she added my sister. I don't actually talk to my sister since she banned my DP from her wedding, demanded I drive for almost 24 hours on my own with my kids (my DP was to be my back-up driver) and expected me to fork out about £2000 on accommodation. My sister then shouted at me down the phone about how selfish I am as it was her wedding, etc.
Sorry it's long. I'm so hurt and stressed I can't see the wood for the trees. Where did I go so wrong?
