Disrespectful StepDaughter

Minecraft's picture

I'm having a real hard time getting along with one of my stepdaughters me and her mom have been married for a year and her 13 year old daughter has disliked me since the beginning her other 15 year old is the sweetest girl ever and Is very respectful to me and has started to call me dad, but the youngest SD insults me on a daily basis and her mother does nothing to discipline her things are becoming very stressful.

You do not have a step daughter problem so much as a wife problem, I'm afraid.  Your wife is the one who should be coming down on SD13's head like the wrath of God when she verbally abuses you.  The fact that she doesn't shows passive aggression, very poor parenting skills and a lack of appropriate care of you.  Partners should have each other's backs, especially where poor behaviour on the part of their children is concerned.  You need to have a come to Jesus meeting with your wife, explain that you will no longer put up with this, and decide how to jointly tackle the situation.  If she is unwilling or unable to do this, I do not see much future happiness in store for you, sadly.

Yes, what kind of parent allows their 13-year-old to insult anyone right in front of them, in their home - much less that parent's PARTNER? Your wife is the problem here.

I actually checked to see where you are from because it sounded like you hooked up with my ex's ex-wife!
(Except of course SD is around 16 or 17 now I think.)
Same problem: one sweet great kid, one absolute effing monster daughter...
Your wife needs to stomp on the rude kid for her behaviour.
It is uncalled for an rebellious and will only lead to greater problems later on.
Pretty much agreeing with those above who have said you have a wife problem more than a kid problem.
