When I found out, I was highly upset with her for being a "Friend" rather than being a parent. It's tough when a kid tells you they hate you, or tries to pit divorced parents against each other (not saying this is the case but it happens). But, as I have told my kids, I wasn't put on this earth to be your friend. I was put here to be your parent. If you don't like my decisions, obviously I must be doing it right. Just my OP.
This is great advice also! I know I am going to get the whole "I hate you!" bit but obviously I need to be a responsible parent here and do the right thing. I really appreciate your input!
