Just celebrated 1 year weddin anniversary and am miserable! SD is 9 and spoiled as all hell!

My SD 9 lives with us and goes with her mom on the weekends. Her dad has pretty much raised her all her life. She is 9 and of course a daddy's girl. So sorry, but I have no bond or desire to bond with this child. She is spoiled, a simple whine gets her way! Last night I cooked spaghetti which my husband ate, my son who is 8 also ate, but SD9 refused to eat it. Got up and went over to her dad to say that she didn't like it. Now had that been my son, he'd be at the table staring at a bowl of spaghetti until he fell asleep. My husband of course got up and made her top ramen!

Newly married step mom with live in. Help.

I have been married less than a year and both my husband and I were single parents before we married and each had been raising our kids full time on our own. I have a BS that's 8 and my husbands daughter is 9. The kids basically get along well. We didn't live together until after the wedding. I have been on my own and independent for the past 7 years. So not only is marriage am adjustment. Having another live in child has been a struggle. My husband feels like I have not opened my heart fully to his daughter, but I feel things just take time. I don't open up easy anyway.
