Am I Selfish for Wanting This?
As you read before I have a young SD3 from hell. But am I selfish for wanting my SD to be a better child? I mean I'm not asking for much just to listen to adults and be respectful. Is it my FH fault because he just gave up on her... Allowed her to become the tyrant she is now. How can you fix the already wrong things that have been allowed? How can you break these bad habits into good habits.PLEASE HELP.

The road to fix them is LONG.
The road to fix them is LONG. I was the bad parent who gave into to my DD for 4 years before meeting DH. 3 years later, we are still working to fix these issues. On a good note, I have seen my bad ways and we are working still to correct them BUT it has eliminated DH from taking anything I have to say about raising children seriously soo he let's SS do/say/act like my DD used to and sees nothing wrong with it. He is creating what my DD is. In a few years, we are really going to have our hands full. It takes ALOT of effort to correct these things and if he isn't on your side, then it won't happen.
I don't think it's too late
I don't think it's too late to change because she is only 3. How can a man give up on a 3 year old? As far as being respectful, again she is only 3, he has to start teaching her, I mean at 3 years old, you're just starting out in head start school, Will he expect her to go out and get a job at 6years old or would he continue to give up.
Well before my AD passed away
Well before my AD passed away she was 2 years old asking may i have and saying please, thank you, excuse me if adults were conversing and she wanted to say something, yes mama, yes sir, and no mama and no sir. So with her doing that at two why do you think my SD at 3 can't do that and more???? And as far as him giving up he feels she has learned all she can learn and moves to something else which causes her to move on and forget all she has learned before. She his insufficient parenting skills has caused this lack in her skills..
