Should she move in? Goodness, no!  |
She ALMOST moved in about 5 years ago when things weren't going good with her mom and her mom's then bf. She came up one weekend and reiterated how much she hated it there and then after I went to bed H talked to her about coming up and living with us. Yup, didn't even consult me because he assumed by me silently nodding all the times he said that she should live with us that I had agreed to it. But the deal was that she had to tell her mom and H wasn't going to say anything. Way to parent together huh?! Sorry but a 14 year old girl can't make the decision to just move out of the custodial parent's house! Oh H had her so excited about living with us. How awesome it would be and took her by to see the school and how much fun we'd all have. Well of course she'd want to move here if things weren't awesome there! Of course, when she told her mom she got pissed and told H they were up and moving to Minnesota so he couldn't see her. They never did move out of state but they moved to the most remote corner. Then of course within a year she loved her mom and hated her dad and they didn't speak for a year.
I'm sorry she is having issues, but she is causing the drama as far as I can tell. She can't keep going back and forth between parents every time something goes bad.
