SD leaves the house when it's just the two of us

Shelley's picture

This past weekend my husband worked all weekend at the office. Maybe it's just me, but when I came home on Saturday from running errands, she left. She went to her mom's for two hours. She made it home just in time to go to dinner with DH and I. On Sunday, I went for a long run, came home and invited her to go to yoga with me, she declined. Twenty minutes later, she left. Once again she went to her mom's for the entire day. Coincidence or does she not want to be in the same house with me when her dad isn't home?

Does it bother you that she does not want to spend time with you because believe me there are many on here who would kill for that!! lol She does not want to be in the same house and while that may hurt you a little at least you get the house to yourself!!

It does bother me that she doesn't want to spend time with me. I've been in her life for 15 years. We used to have a great relationship and spend a lot of time together. Is this just normal teenage stuff? Will she ever like me? Why do I even care?

If you have had a great relationship then I say welcome to the world of mothers and their teenage daughters - do you remember how you were with your mother at that age - if her BM is more of a friend then a mother then I say it is a compliment to you that she is treating you as a teenage girl would treat her real mother - she will like you when she becomes an adult again - I have a 5 year old daughter and I am so not looking forward to the teen years. You care because you have taken care of her and loved her for 15 years so even though they tell us that we are not the mothers and not involved with that much time invested you are like her mother!!
