Do your skids pout to get attention from daddy?
I have to admit I like it when my SD comes because my daughter gets to see her sister. I love my SD and we have some really good times together but when you look at the fact that when she is here and things just get frustrating its kinda annoying. When SD is here and she gets in trouble she does her normal thing. She goes to her room lays in her bed with her blanket over her head and pouts. Then as soon as my husband founds out she is pouting in her room it STARTS. He goes to her and pretty much kisses her ass. I hate it when he does this and he knows he shouldnt be doing this because he seems to always wait till Im out of the room going to the bathroom or outside before he gets off of the couch and goes to her room to see whats the matter, even though I had just told him a few mins ago what she did wrong. I swear I have never seen a grown ass man other, than my husband, walk more carefully on eggshells when his daughter is with us. I dont know maybe he feels bad that she has to be with her mom and he wants to give her a discipline break while she is here but as far as Im told from the SD that the mother doesnt discipline her, doesnt make her do chores or anything.Dont get me wrong when biodaughter does something wrong I get onto her too. Thats what happens to kids, they do something wrong they get punished. I will be damned if this child does something wrong and I just let it go. NOt gonna happen. Not in this house little lady. So does your skid pout to get attention from daddy? How do you deal with it? I have to say I get pretty angry when this happens. It makes me feel like the SD can get away with anything at the age of 10 but my biodaughter at the age of 3 doesnt get away with shit when my husband disciplines her....
My SD does the same exact
My SD does the same exact thing; pouts under her covers until Daddy comes to the rescue. It is so annoying. I have no advice, I need advice on the same issue! Good luck.
I think a lot of SMs need
I think a lot of SMs need advice on this. For the most part me and my SD get along but its things like this that just drive me crazy
:?Oh yes. My SD went through
:?Oh yes. My SD went through few years on pouting + stomach ache for attention. She is 14 now and still has a bag of tricks. I was the over-reacting meanie for pointing it out at the time but since then SD fully admits to the antics - bragging is more like it. Tough to get DH to take the blinders off.
My boyfriend's daughter does
My boyfriend's daughter does it as she walks thru the house, took her to dinner once and she did it for 2 hours....she is 22....not working anymore, bc daddy is starting to wake up!
She is still doing it and she
She is still doing it and she is 22!!?? Oh lord it better not go on around my house that long or SD can just stay away till she gets happy agian....
THats ridiculous!! I would be
THats ridiculous!! I would be livid!! My stepdaughter goes to her room and pouts and then waits till, like I said, Im out of the room before she spreads her pouts to her dad. I mean I love my SD. All in all she is a good kid. She doesnt tell me she hates me. She usually does what she is told. She loves on me and tells me she loves me but I think what her problem is that she wants us to think she likes us more than her mom because she thinks it will make us love her more. Then she does the same thing with us when she is with her mom. She seems to be playing both sides. I am not a fan of games. I would much rather her tell both parents'"I love you but I love my other parent too. Im gonna love you the same and I am not going to choose." Sad thing is the reason she acts like this is because BM put that shit in her head. BM has some sick way of making herself feel better by making SD feel bad about wanting to see us. We are going to love her no matter who she loves. Of course she is going to love her mom, she is her mom, but I dont have to put up with pity parties and lying....
