Okay, i am 22, and I have four year old daughter. I live at home with my mom and step dad. I live at home so that I can have enough money to go to school. NOw, blah blah I know I live at home with my parents, but I am still a parent myself.
I do not ask for anything really of my parents. They buy what they want to buy, they watch my daughter when they want to watch her.
Here is the problem--my mom tries to take over my daughter, or so it feels. This is is a struggle that has continued since my daughters birth. I am by no means a bad parent. But if I try to punish my daughter in any way, she comes running from across the house, to see why my daughter is being put in time out or whatever.
If i tell my daughter no, to something like a brownie at 9 at night my MOTHERwill ask Why not?, right in front of my daughter and will argue with me.
Not only that, but I feel left out. They will go and take my daughter to seaworld, with out even inviting me or telling me in advance.

I by no means want to be considered an absent parent, but I feel that they push me out of the picture. if I want to buy her something, half the time they run out and get it first, just because it takes me a few more days to get the money together.
I feel pushed out, and even though I do want my daughter to experience these things I would AT least be invited to participate or maybe even get the chance to do it on my own sometimes.

the bad thing is that at anytime when my mom does not agree with something about my daughter she always yells out, "this is my house."
