All I have to do is to give praise to Dixie.
She's been a very hard-working mother that makes sure her daughter's needs comes first before hers.
Sorry but to criticise her parenting methods, I couldn't do that.
Dixie, you're doing a great job! Keep up with the reinforcements and set up Mommy and Me times on a calendar so your daughter can look forward to. Mommy and Me times costs nothing.
Pack a lunch, go for a walk. Do each others' nails/hairs. Go for a hike & take pictures and catch great shots.
I see nothing wrong with her parenting methods, either. Kudos to you, Dixie!

Thanks for the support guys, there are days I really doubt my parenting skills, and there are days I feel horrible about how I'm never there anymore for her physically. I like the idea of Mommy and Me dates, and I'll see if I can make those happen despite the fact that I work during the evenings with split days off during the week and I typically work 11-9 on weekends and I live 45 mins from work. Its hard having a crappy work schedule like I do. by the time I get home from work its too late to do anything, and I have to leave mid-morning so there's not enough time to do anything in morning. Hopefully that will change soon.
She is saying nothing get taken away if she hold off responsibilities. But they do. Just not the way she sees it.
Children lose recess time if they misbehave. Material things is fun things for some kids and so is recess. Or whatever the punishment is, you lose some of your fun time whatever it is.
