So, I'm married. My husband has a child from his previous relationship. A child who's life I've been in since she was 6months old. For the better part of her life she's stayed with her dad. Her mom is what you would call a dead beat. (as in wasnever there can't stay in her life for longer than a month or so at a time even her own family says she tryflin'. So I would like to say lately but its been on and off now for about years but its gotten worse the last few years. Her attitude about me has been on the decline for some time now. And to be honest, my attitude about her isn't the best either. My husband and I have four other children together. 1 boy, 3 girls. All 7 of us stay in one house. My dilema is about her attitude about how she interacts with me which until a few years ago I would take to an extent because she is a child. In no way has she been rude, but she is slick to a fault. And of course my husband doesn't see this except when she does it to him. I've had her recently her be mean to the other kids as well as start going thru my personal things even thoughI've told her numerous times to not go thru my things simply because I would not go thru hers. She's made it clear that she doesn't want anything from me, ex for he birthday 4 years ago I bought her a winter wardrobe I found out not only did she no wear any of the things I bought but she gave most of the pieces away. Also insted of letting me do her hair she would rather walk around with it not combed because she wants her mother or sister or anyone else but me to do it. At first I was hurt then upset but soon afetr I decided that it she doesn;t want anything from me then I won't get it or offer. Once shw realized that everyone was getting new things and she wasn't she tried to raise a stink but her father actually backed me up and checked her on it. Now here in the last couple of weeks she's been gettig things without asking and I've been told by my boy that sh'es actually called me a ***** when I've corrected her about something. She's always telling anyone who will listen that she can't wait till her mother comes to get her so she can live with her. But her mother and my husband already talked and decided against it. They've told her this but she doesn't care she just keeps it up. I'm at my wits end with her If she's like this now what's gonna happen in another year or so when she thinks she's really grown. And personally my husband and I are already at a strained point in aour relationship this thing with my pre-teen is about to be a deal breaker because I'm not going to put my hand on her even though she tempting me to. Any suggestions before I ask my husband and my daughter to get ta stepping.
