I have tried a reward system w/points, she looked me in the face and told me she didn't care if she got the points. I will ask her to do her chores (like put away her clean clothes) and she will lie strait to my face and tell me she did it-then I find them right back in her hamper. I have tried schedules w/rewards for completing it and no t.v. or computer if she doesn't. I have talked, yelled, asked her why, put her on restriction (which is hard because her Dad won't pay attention and doen't enforce it if I am not around) even flicked her and spanked her when she has been extremely disrespectful to me. Although I am her "step-mom", I hav been since she was 4-her own mom sees her maybe 2 a month. I am worried that she will 1-grow up and be manipulative, dishonest, lazy & unhappy woman that no one likes or 2-she will begin to influence her 1 1/2 yr old sister. She refuses to be accountable, it's always someone else's fault. I would like her to learn to be responsible and honest...HELP?
