I am married to a loving husband and we have a young daughter who is a handful. On several occasions my daughter has not done her school work, lied and stole. When I approach my husband regarding her behaviour and her punishment he tells me I am too hard on her and to back off. I feel like a single parent and feel that my daughter will grow up to resent me and love her father more. She has already told me that she hates me. My husband is a hard worker but come weekends is gone with his sports buddies and I am left alone to watch the house and discipline my daughter's terrible behavior.
