Interfering families! I hardly feel like my child is mine half the time.

Ever since my baby has been born, my mum and dad are always telling me what to do with her, were i can and can't take her and if she stay's out when they dot want to there is always a argument.

My dad tries taking over alot, telling me what i can and can't feed her, things like that.

They don't listen to what i say example: i don't like to give her sweets after a certain time, i have told them time and time again but they go ahead and give her them anyway.

Its really getten me down lately, i don't feel like she is my daughter, and that i have to do what they want me to do with her to make them happy, i have tried taking to them but they think am just being horrible with them :(.

I am all out of ideas of what to do about it now, the Only thing left is moving out, am on the housing list and bidding on houses every week, i can't afford to get a bond and months rent to move into a private landlord.

If you have already tried to discuss this with them and they are still not respecting your wishes then moving out would seem the best option all round.

I know that what i am going to do, best thing for me but i could be on the list for a while :/

You give your baby sweets? How old is she?

sweetchecks · 25/01/2011 21:34

She is 2 years old and when i say 'sweets' i mean like a milky bar or milky button's

Sorry, sounded like she was a 'babe in arms' and you were giving her cola cubes! Nothing wrong with choccy buttons IMO! Grin

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I'm guessing a bit younger perhaps as your parents sound like they think they know better than you and are taking advantage.

I'd think very carefully about moving out. It will hit you in the pocket financially. Is there another family member who can intervene on your behalf - an aunt maybe?

All my aunts and uncles live a while away, and brothers have their own places so don't really see them as they work night's so sleep through the day.

I am 20 years old, my babys dad don't like the way they take over, but to be honest he ain't really around much he comes and goes when he feels like.
