You and SD do many activities; go to films, shopping, sports, laugh, talk & bond. You assist SD nightly with homework/test prep. Husband works 90 hrs wkly & even when home doesn’t believe in doing activities with her other than watching TV. He says you’re “spoiling” the SD with your $$, energy & time. 4-5 months after she moves in you notice she acts disrespectfully but mostly to just YOU!. Examples: rude/aggressive demands 4 yr full attention even when yr listening to another adult, giving you silent treatment when reminded about a simple chores, telling you “shut up!” & many others You try everything, Nanny 911 tactics, parenting books, talking to her. You ask the father, he says: “There is nothing I can do! Handle it how you want and don’t bother me about it. And NO counseling ever!” That night U remind her it's time for bed. She says "NO WAY I'm not going to bed and keeps looking at TV" U say that she'll lose her tv time tommorrow. Her: "No I won't! Shut up!" Time to spank her?
