Now that my 15 year old daughter is speaking to hubby again he seems to have backed off. When she cut him off he was calling on average 6 times a day now she's lucky if he calls once and spends 3 minutes talking to her.

On Wednesday night he told me he wanted to see her on Sunday (today). Haven't heard a word from him since. My daughter made plans to go to the movies with her friends last night and spend the night with one of them. They are going horseback riding today. I made plans to go out with friends. Hubby called around 5pm screaming and attacking me because daughter was't going to be home til afternoon today and because I was going out.

I calmly explained that daughter is 15 and wants to do things with her friends not her parents. He screamed some more about how he hasn't seen her and I said, calmly and quietly, that was a decision you made and I'm sorry she isn't willing to give up her social life to accomodate the choices he made. He screamed some more and said it was all my fault. I politely said goodbye and hung up.

This man needs to get a clue. I didn't even mention my plans as I feel they were none of his business. He doesn't supply me with his daily adgenda after all.

Well I for one am taking of my hat to you. I think you are a very patient woman.

I also thought your comment about your DD "not willing to accomodate the choices he'd made" was great. Not disrespectful, but WHAMMO!!!

Good job.
