Rude DSD

Will keep it brief. Need some useful and thoughtful advice please. Usual vipers not welcome. Smile

DSD, 15. Just got back from work, DH has taken DSS to football so just me and her. I come in, she's lying on the sofa on her phone, with a film on. I heat up my food (she had already had hers), feed the animals, come into the lounge.
'Hello DSD you alright darling?'
(In a very rude and surly way 'Yeah'.

Nothing else. Thats literally it. She has form for this, I have had to sit her down before and ask her that at least when I say hello I would appreciate a hello back.

The atmosphere is awful, awkward and toxic. DH not back until 8PM.

I've come up to my bedroom to read. I feel like a lodger in my own home and her the moody landlord who doesn't like me encroaching on her space.

I have tried EVERYTHING. I mean everything over the years. (Been with DH 6 years, married for 2). I've done talking, I've done days out, I've done stepping back, I've organised daddy/daughter days, but I'm getting to the stage where I think its honestly just her personality, and thats okay, but surely a basic level of respect is ok?

Its not just me shes like this with, she's even worse with her mum and DH but I just don't feel strong enough to deal with it. Sad

What is she talking about? @wigjuice I hope you are drunk and just having a self entertaining rant to offload some stress you are facing in real life. If this is an actual reaction to the posts here you have serious issues.

You asked if she was alright and she said yes.Confused what we’re you looking for!

I noticed that Bridezilla but Wigjuice has now descended into calling everyone that nasty C-word so is far to busy to come up with a coherent suggestion and to be honest quite possibly can’t. It appears she has reached the limit of her vocabulary if she is now using foul language to abuse anyone who has a differing opinion. Ya can’t argue with an idiot

Very bizarre!

Bridezillamaybe · 29/07/2021 19:49

@wigjuice for the third time how should I have worded it?

Bridezillamaybe · 29/07/2021 19:52

Banned hopefully.

Anyway sorry for derailing your thread OP, I just wanted to say I am in a similar situation and interested in the replies you get here.
