Some men have trouble disciplining daughters. I'm lucky to have boys cause i know i would. If I had a girl she would have me wrapped around her finger. But with your husband going off with the guys and leaving you to deal with it sounds like he is being pretty much an absent parent, not just lax on the discipline.

Just remember, she may say she hates you now, because she is not getting what she wants, but in the long run she will love you for it. She will remember which parent she can count on. Who took care of her and kept her on the right path.

Remind your husband that if he is not involved with her now, and that includes discipline, she will most likely not care to be involved with him later in life. The years when we have our kids at home with us are way too short. Mine are grown now and don't need their old man much anymore. But they still hang out with me
