Your relationship is new, and you’re already disenchanted with his daughter’s behaviour, and the way they interact. Nothing is forcing you to stay.
Dear Lisi: My new boyfriend has a teenage daughter, and I cannot understand their relationship at all. I grew up in the middle of five kids with two older brothers, a younger sister, and a baby brother. This girl is an only child.
This young girl has two of everything — one at each home — gets taken on incredible holidays and is continuously asking for more and receiving it. All she has to do is say, “Daddy, please….” And he says yes. She’s still young, so she’s not out drinking and partying — yet. I can see it’s not far off. So, her requests are mainly innocent, but….
He is clearly trying to cover up any guilt he feels for whatever reason he and this girl’s mother are no longer together. I would agree with you that, from your description, he’s not doing her any favours by spoiling her, but that’s not for me to judge. Nor you. But you don’t have to stay and be a part of it.
Dear Lisi: My brother, his friend and I are stressed out by friends who text us every morning to say, “good morning.” The person who texts me adds hearts and kisses. Perhaps we seem ungrateful, but it’s stressing the heck out of us.
