Am I over reacting step parent

[Sarah9075]

I won't go into to much details but I've basically had social rang with a load of lies cause I booted my kids dad out for drug dealers coming to my door so they made out I bullied his daughter. Now we have made another go of things and he ain't saw her during this lockdown till this week where I've had to have a go at her as she's hurt her little sister. Her dad won't do fuck all about her behaviour and just thinks everything should be explained to her and she shouldn't be disciplined at all 🙄 I'm due baby number 2 and can't see this getting any better as she's been like this since we got together years ago

Just to add this is the 2nd time this week and both times she's lied and said she hasn't even though we have saw her do it. She's always lying and causing issues between us cause she's told she doesn't have to listen to me

How old is the girl?

Ages of children? Also lies ect are actually a normal development stage in children. So is testing boundaries. Please remember she’s your daughter and not the enemy. Her drug taking dad is the one to leave. Your choice to forgive him and have another child isn’t her fault.

Oh re read and she isn’t your child. Obviously it’s all her fault then

What a great home situation this seems to be to bring more children into.

Perhaps give your stepdaughter a break and consider more closely the adults' behaviours here.
