It sounds like you and your daughter do have a problem that goes far deeper than the advice of a stranger can touch. Go to www.rosemond.com, a site that offers fabulous, sensible advice for parenting children and teens. There are books you can order with good advice that will help you start setting limits. Dr. Rosemond has helped a great many parents brat-proof themselves and make their children respectful and resourceful.
I personally would not let any 12-year-old, ill-behaved or docile, have a 27-pound pair of earrings. Any 12-year-old is fairly likely to lose jewelry, it's a ridiculous expense, and expensive items on young kids attract criminals and predators. Kids should do chores to contribute to their family's welfare, not for the bribe of ridiculous overpriced jewelry.

I grew up in a family of 11 kids. 3 of my 4 brothers have been in jail several times for different offences. Your daughter sounds like a little rebellion who needs to have her place in life and the family established by some firm rules. When she wants money to buy things, she should be paid a certain amount per hour (i.e. 1 pound an hour). It may not be much but it if she really wants something she will appreciate it more for the labor she has had to put in to earn it. Also, I would inform her that she must maintain her studies and behave according to the school's and your rules or there will be no extras.
My youngest sister, who will be 41 in January had a lot of benefits of being the youngest (slightly spoiled) but she is doing fine now and is the happy mum of 3 children of her own. Sometimes it just takes a lot of patience and perseverance to get the kids through the awkward rebellions. My younger son did the rebellion at 15.

i think of that the two you and your husband could contemporary a united front... meaning arising with regulations that the two one in each of you settle on and outcomes for the two one in each of your toddlers. the two toddlers could gain that those are the regulations of the domicile and that there are outcomes. The 4 12 months previous is the right age to appreciate which you have distinctive regulations from her mom's. She's in basic terms sorting out the waters. interior the top she would be able to surely have greater appreciate for the two one in each of you over her very own mom. it somewhat is o.k. to assert to the 4 12 months previous, "that's ok in the experience that your mommy would not make you, yet at your daddy's and my domicile those are the regulations." (Or something like that). If she cries, that's ok... all teenagers try this as quickly as they'd't have their way. And it somewhat is those whose mothers and fathers are consistent with them that are greater respectful in the direction of their mothers and fathers. you do no longer choose for a bratty stepdaughter, do you? additionally, she is probably dealing with a puzzling and complicated time. advantageous reinforcement will somewhat help, particularly considering she's in basic terms 4. enable her understand how lots you particularly care approximately her, show her you're excited to work out her once you %. her up and hug her, and tell her which you're pleased together with her while she does something good.

You need to find the solution first of all. When did it start? because it sounds like something might have happened that was the start of all of it. Unless she's been like this since day one. but you say that you treat her the same as the others which would count out jealousy but she might not feel like. You need to do some serious talking with her cause either way something is seriously up wheather it be as simple as jealousy or difficult which I don't even want to think about. but Talk to her one on one. Maybe take her out to Breakfast, Lunch or dinner at her fave place and talk to her. That's about all I can give I wish you the best of luck on it.

oo man, i think you went wrong years ago. First of all you got to start disiplining her. If has a bad attitude whip her. Im not playin not abusivly but jus do it one time so that she knows dont f@#k wit you. And if she acts out at school, why do you even buy her anything? She dont diserve it, and she sure as hell cant just earn a 26pound (like $49) pair of earring for just washing your car.

the way you right and spell lets me think you are a bored kid on school holidays. Sorry if I am wrong but mothers don't tend to spell the way you do. More the teenagers.
