She thinks she's so mature and that she knows everything. This seventh grader who can't even make hamburger helper without me walking her through each step. The instructions are on the box!!! I am not her father. And if I'm going to have to act like it, I would at least like the authority and respect so that I can actually operate. The amount of meltdowns this child has caused me is unreal. It is so stressful every day just dealing with her and trying to help her. I do her laundry, clean up after her, make her food and all I ask is a bit of respect. I could just stop doing things for her but then she would suffer for it and I'm not that cruel. She won't talk about it. My dad just nods and doesn't do anything. It is so incredibly frustrating.
-
she does deserve necessities and not to suffer, true. was she never given any kind of discipline? or was it very little? maybe too much? sorry, i don't mean to pry, but it sounds like she's acting out a lot. does she have anger issues? maybe counseling could help her. but then again, it's hard to afford.
maybe sit your dad down if you could and really tell him how you feel. hopefully he can take you seriously since you're almost an adult. i wish there was something i can do to help your sister realize how disrespectful she's being, and your dad to realize that he needs to do more. -
When we lived with my mom, my mother played favourites. After my older brother moved out, my sister became the new favourite. While we were both abused and horribly neglected, I received harsher treatment and my sister had absolutely no responsibilities. I believe that this is part of the issue, that she lived a responsibility free life with our mom where she was never punished for acting out and now that she's here she can no longer behave this way. She has a therapist but it is taking her a while to warm up to her.
I hope so. I've brought it up but all he does is agree and doesn't do anything. He comes up with punishments for her but hardly ever enforces them. -
that makes a lot of sense. hopefully everything gets better with the therapy. coming up with punishments for defiant kids is difficult since you don't want to make it any worse and in this situation, physical discipline is a no go.
i feel really terrible 😅 did she leave you alone for now? -
I am hiding in our room with a blanket. I'm sorry, I don't mean to complain so much. These are just issues that have been weighing heavily on my mind. I am actually happy lately. I apologize for all of the venting. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me and listen to my problems. It means a great amount to me.
-
don't worry about it. i'm terrible with advice but i didn't know if anyone else would say anything so i thought i'd check in. it sucks to be upset and not get to talk to anyone about it or be ignored. i care about you and i want you to be happy.
it's good that you've been happy. i have too. it's been hard to be content for me lately but i'm trying. let's both do our best and push through together 😠-
what i mean about that last paragraph is that i've been happier than i normally am but it's been a bit difficult with my depression so i put extra effort in to be in a good mood. sorry, i contradicted myself a bit
