So this is'nt a HUGE problem and I really don't want to come off as an annoying spoiled teenage daughter but, my Mother recently started working full time which translates to ALL the time. My family doesn't really have money issues wer're just a normal middle-class suburban family but now she's always getting home late and on-call and such! She's always stressed out and I don't spend much time with her any more, I'm not going to try to get her to stop working full time I just want to spend more time with her, like shopping and going out to lunch and stuff, help?

Have you tried telling her you miss having her around?

Well, usually when she's home we just fight and stuff :/

Why do you fight?

I don't know, we get on eachothers nerves.

If you fight so much why do you want her around?

I have a 15 year old daughter and 6 year old son at home. I recently went back to work full time as well. I work nights from 7 at night to 7 in the morning and basically sleep most of the day. My daughter watches my son. We never fight. If she wants to spend more time with me she just comes up to me and asks.

Well, sorry? I don't know anyone who doesn't fight with their parents.

Really? My daughter and I NEVER fight. Maybe you should try to be more respectful.

My mother has worked for as long as I can remember. My father, for lack of a better term, left when I was 1 and my brother was 3. She did it because we needed the money. I guess our situations are different but looking back now I can tell you that I am very proud of my mom for her sacrifices.

Wonder what else could be going on that you want more time with someone you fight with all the time?

I thought you were an actress, or busy in fashion. You must not be so busy any more.

Honestly, I'm reading this and love is abby doesn't seem to be to up front about something. Just these one sentence answers. I think there is something more going on here.
