Hey Guys....

I'm still with my BF...I know I posted a while back the relationship was coming to a close...long story will talk about it later. This time I just need to rant.

Last weekend I took my BF's daughter (5) out for ice cream and then for a mani-pedi....at this place they do a special mani/pedi for kids...a very simple one where they wash/lotion the hands and feet and polish/decorate them. BF's female friend takes her daughter every couple of months or so and I can tell BF's daughter feels a bit jealous....anyways I thought it would be a fun thing and she is a girly girl that loves dresses, etc.

Anyways, we're in the salon. She tells me she has to go to the bathroom, I try to help her off her chair and she yells out (in front of everyone), "NO! I can do it MYSELF!" Ok...whatever....

There was a bag of cookies that I think the salon owner left on the shelf...BF's daughter runs to this bag of cookies and takes a few, no asking, nothing. Keep in mind this girl INHALES food...eats a TON. Last weekend we bought a box of donut holes, left them on the table and half the box was gone within 20 minutes...WTF. So when she sees food anywhere, or anyone's plate or anywhere, she will go and TAKE it.

Anyways, I told her do NOT do that again and that it wasn't hers to take. She looks at me in a snotty way...and takes another cookie.

Finally, when the lady was adding decoration to my toenail, BF's daughter says (or rather yells, cause the girl needs to hear herself talk), 'What are you doing?' I said, 'She's putting decoration on my toe.' She says to me, 'I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to her.'

That did it. I told the lady, 'Take that nail polish off of her, we are leaving.' Lady wipes all her nail polish off, she wails and cries her usual crocodile tears, but I had it. You don't give me attitude when I do something nice for you. I still paid for the service too.

Anyways, I told BF when we got back and he scolded her harshly and sent her to her room for the rest of the afternoon. 15 minutes later she is outside playing. I ask her, 'Why are you outside, you should be in your room.' She says, 'I'm allowed to cause Daddy said yes.' He did let her go outside and play.

Is it wrong for me to feel resentful and pissed??

Does she KNOW she is giving attitude, at her age is she supposed to know better??

Should a 5 year old KNOW when someone is doing something NICE for them that they should be nice back?? Is she too young to appreciate things??

And why did he give in??
