Friend or Foe
My 14 year old daughter is moody. In one weekend she can go from hanging out with me to being mad at me because I asked her to help me do some housework. Then she is isolating herself with her dad. They say I am in a bad mood. I am not. She waited until the last minute to do what I asked her to do instead of doing it the first time I asked her. I feel her Dad shouldn't take sides with her because she is mad at me.

I agree with you, her Dad should not take sides. That just encourages the behavior from her. I have a 14 yr old daughter as well and she knows that in order to get priviledges she has to do her part around the house. Her Dad needs to step up and work with you and not against you or else you will have issues down the road. Maybe even try talking to her about why she thinks its ok to have this additude with you, sometimes it works for us and we come to an agreement. Good Luck!
