Thanks. Her dad never has really told her that she shouldn't behave in this manner and, although she looks like she sometimes improves with her behavior, then she lapses with situations like this which are really horrible to deal with. I don't want to have anything to do with her at all.

Thanks, I never thought of it that way, but you are right.

Thanks. Karma could come around and slap her in the face. It just hasn't happened yet, as far as I can tell.

She's not living at home with us, she just called the house and did this routine over the phone. My DH and I put a lock on our gate on the driveway in order to keep her from coming up to the house easily, although sometimes she walks into the property. she is an evil little lady. Much like her BM.

We have tried to ignore her, but that doesn't seem to work either. Besides her BM, she is probably the most insane person I know.

I've done that with her. I wish it would work, but with this little darling, it doesn't seem to phase her much and arms her with more amunition.

Thanks.

You know, that is a good idea. How do you do that? I've never blocked anyone's calls before, there never has been a reason to, but that would eliminate some of the harrassment for sure.

Good advice. I do have tiara and I could put it to good use that way.

No key as far as I know. Thank heavens for that!

I blocked her and her older sister as well. Then, I found her mother and blocked her, too just in case.

True, the talks don't really seem to make a difference with her, but it would make me feel better if I felt he was sticking up for me and disapproving of her behavior, and it was clear.

I feel your pain as well. When I had all three stepdaughter's living with me it was aweful. The oldest one moved out and then a few months later came back home, pregnant. Then I got to raise my step grand-daughter as well until she was 5. My oldest stepdaughter lived with me until she was 26 and completly through nursing school with her certificate in her hand. She didn't lift a finger around the house to help out. I had to ask her "nicely" if I could sit in my own living room recliner. It was horrible. The youngest lived at home and "studied" according to her all of the time and couldn't help out with anything either. Fortunately, she moved out at 22. Oh, and the rotten child I am complaining about tonight my husband and I moved her into one of our rentals we used to have when she was 16, paid for her water, sewer and power just so she would no longer be living with the rest of us in the family home because she was incredibly abusive to the rest of the family including me and we just couldn't go on like that. When she turned 18 (had to wait until summer though when school was done, even though she didn't graduate)I finally had to evict her and go through the entire eviction process to get her out of that rental house which has been sitting vacant since then because now it needs to be completely remodeled after she ruined the entire interior.

Oh yah, I had a fit over that, too. No "overnighters" that was my rule. Fortunately my husband understood on that one. I sometimes ended up sitting in the living room making sure no "funny" business was going on as well. Then kept saying, "it's time for you to go home". I know the girls hated me for that, but not in my house!
