they all start the same and end the same
typical people who work 40 hours a week, look forward to their weekends, they look forward to hanging out with family, friends and doing thing. i always come into my weekends on a positive note, hoping this will be the weekend thats different. One where everything goes smooth and runs normal, but i am living a lie, no weekend is ever good for me, dealing with my daughter, having to do all the stuff i do around the house, shopping cleaning laundry, tantrums from the kids, its just a never ending cycle of misery throw in stress of bills, cooking, and more tantrums and more making my daughter the center of attention, or always having to answer yes to her when she calls, is breaking me down and putting me into a bad place, one that i am not sure i can handle anymore, its taking its tole on me, Then add in the cherry on top, no matter what happens no matter what the circumstance, no matter who starts it i am fully responsible for every thing that goes wrong, no one else, my daughter flips out over something, its my fault, she wont listen and wont clean up after herself, my fault, i ground her because of it, my fault, i am just sick and tired of it all, i just cant take it and i am about to snap

Hang strong my friend, you\'re a fighter and a survivor. Try to get you some YOU time here and there, to help pace yourself. You carry a big load and got to be good to yourself too.
You are a very kind loving father. A lot of teenagers become rebellious and hell to deal with. I have a friend who is my age, and she like you works 40 hours a week and deals with a bratty teenager who pretty much fits the description of what you are dealing with. I can\'t imagine. It is a very selfless job. I live in a household with a family, I rent from them. They have two daughters that make EVERYTHING all about them, don\'t clean up, and are very disrespectful and ungreatful for things they are given. I\'m sorry you are dealing with that hell right now. :( Your not alone. Nothing wrong with you and it\'s okay to say no sometimes. Sorry you feel so terrible!!:(
