MB. I gotta ask you and the girls here a question.

my daughter has been coming to me with alot of complaints and gripes about my wife. Mom is doing x and y. mom yells at me all day. mom gives me a hard time 1 hour then the next acts all buddy buddy. mom just sits on the couch all day and makes me do all the work she should be doing.

now i figure in the natural course of things a moms and daughters will have their disagreements esp. at this age, but last night d came to me say 'im done, i cant take this anymore, something needs to be done about mom.' i figure that is better than i dont want to talk about it, but jeez.

luckily she had a friend over for a sleep over so i didnt need to talk to much. i have been teling her i understand. mom has somethings she needs to work out for herself. remember water off a ducks back. just take it and dont fight back. and if she slaps you again please call me immediately.

what else can i say to her. i feel like i am minimizing things to her and avoiding any advice and comforting she needs. but i dont know what to tell her. i dont want to bad mouth her mamma to her and definitely aint gonna lay my complaints on her, help if you can. thanks, SM
