You have done the right thing - don't beat yourself up. Motherhood is very hard!
I am a mum of 2 girls, 14 and nearly 12. I don't work and I absolutely do not stand for having to do everything in the house. I do the bulk of it, of course. But I gave up work to raise my girls, not be cinderella. For a long time, both my girls know that if their clothes don't make it into the laundry basket, they don't get washed. If their rooms aren't tidy, they don't get dusted and hoovered. My hubby is away a lot and I suffer with a chronic bowel condition, so they HAVE to do their bit around the house.
In my experience, it's made them really helpful and responsible. Don't get me wrong - sometimes I have to fight them off their Nintendoes or the computer, but we get there in the end!
Your daughter, if she has left home, just needs a nudge in the right direction. She'll never learn if she doesn't do things herself! She should bake in her own house and then learn never to say she'll do it again lol!
You're her mum, yes. But sometimes "no" is said for their own good. You obviously love all your children and put them first. xx

Just had a Mother/Daughter problem here.
Eldest lives with her boyfriend, and they are expecting a baby. She has bought a pram which is virtually new, for a fraction of the new cost but the trouble is, it's 30 miles away. Wife was going to take her, but they have fallen out (Again.) and today she rang me and asked me to take her tomorrow, but I said no as I was at work today, and tomorrow is the only day I'll be having off. I told her to take it up with her Mum, and that I am not going to be part of their argument.
Trouble is, she expects to be ran around here, there and everywhere, but we have lives of our own, and her boyfriends Mum hasn't offered to take her either. So now we are getting from her that we won't see the baby etc etc, but I am not going to be treated like some kind of taxi when it suits her.
So am I being mean, or should she and her Mum get their heads together and sort their own mess out?
