partners daughter

[Barney68]

hello ........... im am writing with hope that some of you people can offer me advice to a very delicate situation .
i am dating a wonderful woman who has a daughter of 17, the thing is this the daughter is very spoilt and as much as she is dong A Levels has the emotional attitude of a 10 year old, talks with a wimper when she can get what she wants, talks in one word answers to all adults and talks in an aggressive manner to her mum, unless of course she needs her to buy her something...... has very high demands from everyone. recently got a pet cat to which she cried and sobbed to have yet now she just ignores it. i know this comes across as very selfish, i really trying to see teenage years and all the moods that go with that .... HELP Please

I have a daughter of the same age my advise to you is support the mother rather than disciplining the daughter. There are different ways of saying things. Instead of saying your daughter is a spoilt brat try telling your partner that you think she's a good mum and you don't think she deserves to be treated so babdly. Tell her that you can see she's hurt by her daughter's attitude and that you hope one day her daughter will show maturity and realise what a good mum she has. This way you are making your partner think about the situation without directly bad mouthing her daughter.
