Thank goodness Christmas is over. I couldn't do anything right in my daughter's eyes. I didn't buy what she wanted as I couldn't afford to. She hated dinner. She sulked in her room. It wasn't like the media makes it out to be. Tried to explain but she doesn't want to know. Can't help feeling I've failed her expectations.
Other kids have 2 parents and have the lifestyle my daughter wants. I want the world to go away.
