sorry but i can't answer as i haven't a clue what you're saying......

re-write in text we can understand and we may be able to help..

I'm pleased it's not just me then, I gave up at the third line of 'txt spk'.

I can read your post, but not sure exactly what your problem is to be honest.

ssd · 04/07/2011 21:21

are you the 14 yr old dd writing this pretending to be your mum?

ihatecbeebies · 04/07/2011 21:21

Could you not explain to your daughter that you feel a bit out of the loop, she'll surely understand as she's older, if she's got a mobile phone maybe a text or two every day to keep you posted?

Is your ex partner permanently living with his mother and if your DD moved in would she have her own room and live there too? If he would be getting his own place in the near future you could explain to her how different it would be living with just her father and with no 'supergran' to spoil her.

It is very difficult to read but I can't see a problem-your teenage DD is being difficult but gets on well with her granny-is that a problem rather than a help?

I think it's far too early to worry about Christmas.

ihatecbeebies · 04/07/2011 21:23

ouch ssd she's just looking for advice, don't read it if you've got a problem, there are plenty of other threads to read.

Christmas?!

How would you feel if your ex had a new partner who was then your daughters stepmother? At least the "other woman" in your teens life is her grandparent at the moment, which should be easier to handle.

Not sure why it matters that you dont know what they are getting her for xmas when it is six months away either. At 14 she can (and no doubt will) tell you what they are getting her, and what she wants from you.

ssd · 04/07/2011 21:28

ihateceebeebies i'm serious, not being sarky

the style the op writes in suggests a young teenager to me, maybe the girl wants to discuss a problem posing as her mum...don't know why though
