Does your skid 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....

Thank you for the reply. Yes I totally agree that he is just setting her up for more pouting. It drives me so insane when he does that I have to go outside so that I dont have to go off on everyone...Of course she goes in her room and pouts and then as soon as he goes in and babys her she comes right back out and acts like everything is okay. Or if I get mad because she does something wrong she tells her dad that she thinks that Im mad at her. So he comes to me and tells me to be the adult and stop being so hard on her. I ask him how Im being so hard on her? By disciplining her when she does wrong? I do that with my biodaughter and I never see him telling me I am being too hard on our daughter. WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT!!

Well SD is 10 and her mom and father havent been together for like 9 and a half years so not sure if thats it. Thank you for your reply though. I really think the problem is that we are getting ready for ANOTHER custody hearing to decide where the child will live more of her time and I think my husband is afraid to piss her off because she has proven to manipulate and to use her mom and dad against each other and maybe he doesnt want SD saying AGAIN,"DAD gets onto me I dont have to put up with this I will just live with mom." Just like she lived with her mom awhile and kept telling her mom,"Im just gonna go live with my dad."

Yes its the truth. When she does something that is pretty much stabbing him in the back I tell him "See? You dont see what she is doing?" ANd he says it doesnt matter. Bullshit it doesnt. He says that we have to forgive and "forget" because she is "our daughter" and parents must stick by their kids. BS!! What about kids respecting their parents or "coparents"? I tell him just because she is a kid and she is "his" kid doesnt mean she can just step on everyone and do whatever the freakin hell she wants to!!

If she is using the same line on both parents, then she has to be getting punished at both houses. She's trying to see who will give in to her first or the most.
