Yep SD6 here all damn weekend and what a horror she is.

She was watching TV and I happened to talk to SO and she went 'SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH' at me! Cheeky cow.

I just said 'Don't be so rude' and she glared at me.

I don't know how to keep coping with SD6, I despise her and all that she stands for.

So does tell her off sometimes but not enough punishment IMO. I resent that we have to have her EOW and we cannot be free to do what we want, I don't have kids of my own by choice this far.

Just venting

It easy to say what I would have done but the first thing is to make the child know that she is not your equal. Sometimes it is ok IMO for a child to shush someone example in front of a movie but it depends on how it is done--it has to be clear that you are the adult and she does not have adult status. A kid could ask you to be quiet in front of a TV but could also be a polite child in other ways. If this child monopolizes everything and wants you to bend to her wishes on everything then there is a problem. You will need to take back the power she might have been given by your BF or H and make it clear that she is not your equal--that you are the adult in charge-- if he is not doing that.

This has happened in my home a few times. I turn off the t.v. so that I'm no longer bothering her. Problem solved. Smile

That is the problem. These kids would not be the rude disrespectful little asses they are if our DH's did their damn job as Dads. Not DISNEYLAND DAD but a real DAD, the good and the bad of it.
