SD is a Bully

I personally don't have a problem with my SD. I like her, and get along really well with her. She is almost 7 years old. She previously got in trouble for bullying a young girl at her after school care place. Both of her parents talked to her, and she was grounded from TV for 2 days. We had her last weekend. We got a call from her care facility around 6 pm to discuss SD bullying the same girl...again.

SO talked to her again...and her reasoning behind her actions were "I want mommy and daddy to get back together and move to Florida." This is the same thing her mother previously told SO. This would be the only thing that will make SD stop harassing other children.

SD never said anything about moving to Florida, or her parents getting back together, until she went to Florida for Christmas. She didn't bully before this either.

It is very frustrating. I am lucky enough to not have a SO who is a Disney Dad. He parents quite well, and we work together very well as a team. BM is a nut, and always has been. I also don't see that changing any time soon.

I also feel sorry for SD to a degree. No child wants to come from a split family, and when your mother tells you stuff to alienate you from the other, it is even harder. Still does not excuse her actions.

When I was that age a belt across the backside would help with behavior like that! }:)

Me too. If I was ever caught bullying another person, my mother would have made sure I couldn't sit down for at least a week. I had a similar "step" situation as my SD, Parent's divorced when I was 2, lived with my mom and step-dad, wanted my parents to get back together, but I didn't act out because of it.
