How Can I Deal With Disrespectful Step Child?

I would sit the parent of the child down and have a long talk, it isn't fair to you to have to live with disrespect. Try taking away the phone TV computer allowance etc.. If this doesnt work totally ignore the child when they are in your presence, as if they don't exsist!!! Lol  A good spanking might be in order too. This sounds like a child who is really spoiled and has to be the center of attention at all times. Zuhail doesnt sound like you have even been around children at all!!! Sorry but a child who is disrespectful needs to be disrespected  and taught a lesson that they are not in control.  Tough love sometimes is the only answer to a problem child and I am speaking from experience I have a son 31 and a daughter 29, also raising a 11 yr old grand son who is ADHD_ODD  Hope this helps!!

Know how you feel you try to make them feel they have someone other than than parents but close enough to be family.This generation is so selfish and treat people like crap.ITS A NEVER ENDING STORY

You need to tell that brat to pack her stuff and get out. She will most likely look shocked by your comment and pause for a moment. While she is dazed by this let her know that you are through playing games and there is a new game plan and she can either play by the new rules or leave period. Do not show her mom disrespect but let her know that she can help you here. The child will play off her mom and follow her example. You and the mom need to be of one mind here and never contradict each other. The child needs to know that she is the one who will change and that is all there is to it. I am in a very similar boat myself and my wife and I don't agree about how to effect the desired change in my step=daughter's behaviour. God luck.

There is a fine line between being a parent and being a step-parent. Where is the line drawn? In my opinion, it depends on how old the child was when you and mom hooked up and whether or not the girl was asked if she thought it was a good idea. Even though she is not an adult, she still has her own feelings and emotions and she has a right to them.
Are you doing something that causes her behavior? I realize that as an adult, you are responsible for her in some ways, but is there a specific time she throws the

Since this is a step child then maybe it is best to let the other
parent deal with the child I would sit the parent down and let
him or her know just what is going on with the child if that
child other parent could not do anything about it I would just
keep my distance

Ive been dealing with a step-daughter for years, My biggest mistake was giving here everything she wanted no matter how much debt I was in. She called me an asshole once in front of her girlfriend, and her mom who says she will grow out of this. Shes going on twenty, I speak to her maybe once or twice every six months.(Shes in college) although speaks with her mom daily. I try hard not to show how she hurts me but now being the step-dad doesnt hold much weight these days. Not even sure if I want a relationship with her anymore, Iam concentrating on the two boys now hoping it doesnt turn against me again. Basicly, its tough being a step-parent

Get a Divorce.

It tough but she is a teenager some times they feel like the whole world is against them. Hormones social issues and trying to figure out who the are....It is hard to deal with as a step mother you give so much more than the bio parent often do and you don't get the love in return ...keep in mind it hard for them too if they show care for us the step mom for fear they may  hurt their moms feelings and pay for it with them....Bio Mom deneys it... My stepdaughter now 15 been with her 5 years now.... We used to be closed the first 2 year and her mom jumped her saying she not to care for me she her mother I'm nothing to her etc... She does not share anymore ...but you can tell when been with bio and attitude changes and kid tries to erase you from thier history and replace fairytales of the bio mom...Just be a teen alone is hard ... But to be at teen age and step kid regardless of being spoiled rotten...Being a step mom I try so hard as I believe most of us do... We give so much in hopes of  getting love or appreciated but... The dynamic of Step mom does not allow that more expected from us and they have to be rude to us to protect their  relationship or memory with/ of bio mom...... I mean your baby showing more care to another woman must hurt...  You can't expect the child to be understanding of sit and logical (even though I often struggle with that myself)  it is a emotional situation.  No matter what Bio mom does to them the want her love and usually rather hurt another woman other than their mom.  For god Sakes they where in her tummy...  Being jerks to us is protecting them self from hurting their bio mom and feeling guilt for feeling close to us...
