Im the OP!! Glad this got accepted but to clarify some things nothing is going on in his home. She is just being a drama queen because he lives in a middle class home and I live in the suburbs . She doesn't like being there because " the demon spawns" also known as her brother and sisters are there and she is the oldest. She also doesn't have her own room at his house like she does at mines.

Smart kid!
Yeah, I didn't like seeing my dad either. I rarely spent time with him, due to his own choice, so he felt like a stranger to me. I can relate to this child desperately wanting to go back home with mom.
She is 14 not that its any of your business I did discipline my daughter but I left that out because to many cry baby's on here would shame me for that because this is 2016 . Second of all it is mildy disrespectful to call my daughter a BRAT have you grown ass people have no shame ? Have you never did something to disrespect your parent ? CHILL THE **** OUT WITH NAME CALLING and last no I'm not bad mouthing her father although we aren't together he still is my best friend he has came to my wedding and I came to his we aren't on bad terms
You are the one who posted on FML. If you didn't want input and judgement from random strangers you should have stayed away from this site. P.S. Is it unacceptable to discipline your children in 2016? Or did you use some medieval torture device to do that?
I'm sorry but I felt like I had to leave a comment... First of all, you contradict yourself about how there are "to many cry baby's" and follow it up with going keyboard warrior about us calling your daughter a brat. To me that is a little hypocritical. Secondly, your privileged upper middle class daughter doesn't want to visit her own father and siblings, so she goes to extreme measures of getting out of it rather than sucking it up and dealing with it for a week? That's ridiculous. I don't know the details on the family or whether she's close to her father or not, but that behavior is very childish. Just my thoughts; I'm sure your parenting is fine for the most part.
You worded your FML terribly. You made it sound like she was in some sort of danger or potential danger so be grateful that most people on this site were worried about her. By the way, I can see where she gets being a brat from...
14 year olds are about the hardest age to teach/discipline/parent/reason with. I have better luck reasoning with 4yo than 14yo most of the time.
It completely sounds like your child is a manipulative brat. It also sounds like she may have gotten those traits from you.

Positing a FML is no reason to be treated like an idiot or judged as a parent. Some of you should read again the comments. Over a 2 line FML, some of you suppose OP's daugther is being abused, that OP can´t raise a child properly and other even get to say she won't give her age (which she did) because she realized something is wrong. I never did, but I am pretty sure that whoever the hell it is that posts a FML doesn't expect nor wishes to read such things. It's only a 14 yo girl doing tricks to shorten a stay she is not looking forward to. Nothing else.
It's also like nobody here ever went through puberty and never refused to go somewhere. Jeez.
If you post to a site that has open comments- you're going to get advice or comments you might not like. Welcome to opening your situation to a bunch of people. And why the hell are you acting like worrying over the child being abused is a bad thing? A child trying desperately not to go to a parents house can be a big alarm. Op didn't provide any reasoning until she commented on the FML later. And sorry- the kids showing bratty behavior. Most people weren't questioning her parenting until she started throwing a fit over people calling her child that's acting like a brat a brat. She calls her kid a drama queen but freaks if anyone else calls her child something.

Universal remote at best buy for like $8, daughter told she's now staying with father forever, grounded indefinately any time she's at your house. Problem solved.
Smart girl!
my stepchildren hated to go see their father because that meant flying on a small plane into Casper Wyoming that is a terrifying ride if you've ever done it there's lots of other good advice here about checking to see exactly why your kids don't want to go be with their dad
what exactly do you mean you "disciplined" your daughter? What did you do that you think you would get shamed for? I am quite curious. Regardless, I feel very sorry for your daughter, something she is desperate not to do gets her labeled a "drama queen" by a parent who completely invalidates their child's feelings, emotions, and experience of her environment. There are plenty of children who go back and forth between a nice house and a crummy house when they are staying with their respective parents but behavior like that is NOT normal, no matter what you tell yourself. You can't just brush aside what your child is telling you and say, oh, it's just because it's not as nice over there. That is nonsense. Have you stopped to consider that maybe the younger children actually DO make life miserable for your daughter? I'm sure there are many other factors you simply refuse to acknowledge as valid. I bet Sheba tried to tell you about them many times and you refuse to actually listen. Count yourself fortunate that YOU don't have someone who scoffs at your problems that are genuinely making you sad, angry, and unhappy and tells you you're being a drama queen and basically making it all up. Again, making such a desperate plea to come back home is NOT NORMAL.

that actually sounds pretty terrible. I hope that the relationship they have isn't so bad for her sake, that can really take a toll.

You may want to look more into this situation because it could turn out to be bad/dangerous in the future.
So.. Your child is a brat, and that's okay with you? Because that sort of behavior would get my ass handed to me before I even went off. If you don't nip that in the bud, she'll hold onto that trait because you're enabling her. If you already have, good for you, and keep at it. You really don't want to have to put up with that when she's older.
