One of my kids got in an argument with W about not wanting to stay at her place b/c she doesn't like it there. W got stern and said she *has* to stay at her place, which made D more upset. D said her place makes her cry. W said D makes her cry. In the end, they hung up with each other and D was very upset feeling responsible for her mom's sadness. I'm trying to encourage D to stay at W's place on her days, but D said she doesn't want to and we can't make her. I told W I was trying to encourage D, which W appreciated. But I also reprimanded W for blaming D for W's emotions. W was pretty upset and went on to say that she feels like she's up against an army lead by me. She accuses me of sending signals to kids by saying nice things about W to them. Should I be saying mean things about her? If I say nothing, W says my body language says things. Holy sh*! I just can't win. oh well..
