Actually my son is the youngest child and can never get enough attention. He thrives on it.

My daughter and her friend were over tonight to watch a movie. They are always together.

Her friend is loud, overbearing, bossy, opinionated and I believe is somewhat controlling over my daughter. She also swears in my house. Tonight she barged in and took over the place and my son said "watch your language in my house" She dresses very provocative and I can't stand the fact that my daughter is living with her. But.....she needs to learn a lesson I guess. I think my ex let's her sleep over at her boyfriends. He mentioned something the other night that if she stays out he needs her home early in the morning to babysit. I said "if she stays out where? "she better not stay at the guys house". He said oh no I mean if she sleeps over at a friends. I believe he lets her do whatever she wants. I find this so scary.

I hope she comes to her senses soon. None of her friends like the girl she shares her room with in the basement and it's not that I don't like her, I just think she is a bad influence. She needs help herself but I don't want her affecting my daughter, but I guess it's too late for that. My son can't stand her friend either as she is quite disrespectful to him and talks to him like he is a little kid.

I remember my mother disapproved of all of my friends. She was very judgmental and still is. I only disapprove of one of my daughter's friends but I know if I say anything she will dig her heels in.

It's kind of hard to watch.
