Relationship with daughter at breaking point

Hi all, my dd is 22 and lives at home with me with my gorgeous 10 week old grandchild. She lives rent free and isnt expected to contribute. I work full time but do as much as i can to help, including having him overnight on a free occasions while she has attended weddings, hen nights etc. The trouble is she seems to have no respect for me whatsoever and her attitude is appalling. There have been rumblings for a while but last night it all went up and she moved to her dads which made me feel awful. I had been your work all day, i had babysat Thursday evening, babysat Friday overnight until 2pm Saturday. I did the 4am night feed overnight Saturday and looked after him most of Sunday. Sunday I ordered a takeaway, and because it wasn't from the one she used refused it, ordered her own and said so are you transferring the money. I tried to just let it go. I walked in from work yesterday first words, whats for tea, i told her, then she said how longs it going to be told her about an hour. She just said good I'm starving. I've had no lunch. I said why didn't you make anything. She said there's nothing I want. The cupboards and freezer are full. She gets cooked for every evening. I told her shecould have got something to eat, she said dont you understand I'm skint. She had paid for hotels, nails etc Friday night. She then started saying why don't you do a weekly shop like normal people and generally criticising and i just had had enough at this point. We had a row and she left. I just feel used and like nothing i do is enough but my little grandchild is caught in the middle, she wouldn't let me hold him before she went which is awful

She's about to get a nasty shock when her dad won't get up to do night feeds.

She's a spoilt brat. Sorry she is using her child as a weapon to hurt you; she knows exactly what she's doing and yes, she has been using you.

It'll be great if her Dad doesn't let her walk all over him, the way she has with you. Go and enjoy your holiday, but expect to get a whining 'Can I stay at your's while you're away' text or voicemail once the penny drops about how good she had it with you.

Time for madam to stand on her own 2 feet for a bit. She's old enough to procreate, time for her to act like an actual adult instead of a princess.

Be very wary about allowing her to move back in.

I’d change the lock barrel before I went away - it never hurts to have a spare for emergencies anyway. See how long it takes her to announce her key doesn’t work. Change back when you return. Keep spare in drawer for future use. I love a flouncer. Enjoy your holiday Star
