My boyfriend and I just married after reuniting over 4 years ago. He was my first love and we always held a torch for eachother.
He was in a very unhappy marriage for 13 years with a foreign women and was going through a messy divorce when we reunited. It was his decision to get a divorce
,not hers so she was livid and made his life a living Hell.
His son is a sweetheart but his daughter is unbelievably spoiled.
His ex is all consumed with material things and has lived off her rich Daddy for her entire life so the kids haven't wanted for much. Paris, London, Disney....they've been there many, many times. The daughter even has her own horse and Volvo at 15. My husband pays 75 percent of his income due to her greed & rich Daddy getting a top lawyer. Which leaves us barely able to buy heating oil or even go to see a movie.
I have been kind to his daughter always and so has my family. This kid is unreal and after 4 years I've had it with her.
Here is an example of what we're dealing with.
Christmas day my husband picks the kids up to come our place for a family Christmas. His daughter walks in and in a prissy mood complains loudly about not getting enough from her Mom that morning. She says that her Mom gave her a $500 limit which was just ridiculous! Her grandmother hadn't arrived yet so she then went into a rant on having to wait to open presents & even called her to wine to her to hurry. I asked her if she cared at all about anyone elses happiness on this special day and her response was that she could careless and didn't get anyone anything because she's the only one that matters! Her grandfather and I tried with dropped jaws to explain how so uncaring this attitude was. She laughed. This is her normal behavior!!!! She's even been worse.
I wanted to take all the gifts away from her & felt she deserved nothing. But they all seem to excuse her behavior because she's a teen and that's the way her Mom raised her. I come from an entirely different perspective. I actually respected adults and appreciated anything I was given. This kid is a narcissistic brat! I am having a difficult time holding in my feelings and not being able to do anything about this behavior. All though...next year my Mom and I are going to give to charity in her name. No gift under the tree from me.Ha!
