Abused verbally and physically by stepdaughter - spoiled children

Kids have no respect for parents

Spoiled Children

I have been in a relationship 8 months with the prospect of living with my partner.  But she has two utterly spoilt children, 17 and 20, and the daughter has taken an irrational dislike to me. She abused me verbally and physically on



My partner and I have a loving relationship that is being destroyed by this spoilt brat, who is arrogant and highly opinionated. Children ought to respect their parent's wishes and not sabotage their relationships.

13-5-2008I am dealing with a spoiled brat elderly mother. I just realized this a month ago and it has not been fun befor realizing it or since.

30-4-2008I totally understand where this man is coming from because I just got out of a relationship where my son took a disliking to him because he tried to disipline him while I was working. To make a long story short,one night while I was at work my son wound up biting him and he hit my son in self-defe...moreHeartbroken
29-12-2007Here's a solution: 1. Don't go to her house EVER. Meet her at your house, or the two of you can go away for the weekend. 2. Her kids are 17 and 20? If so, she may want them out of the house in 2 or three years. If you love each other, you can both wait it out until then.Watchowtsky
15-12-2007The name of this thread is "Kids have no respect for their parents". A lot of the time that is true. Who is to blame ? Society ? No. The Parents. If you give your children love, attention, always be there for them ( difficult in this world ), they will love and respect you. Set bounda...moreTaffyQuad
02-12-2007It is refreshing to know that we still have neanderthals like Zany Poke in the population. If corporal punishment works then explain to me why people still went to prison for heinous crimes even when corporal punishment was in place. As far as your views on women are concerned. Was it a woman who...moreheal the world

06-10-2007You've been in a relationship with this woman for eight months. Her daughters have been in a relationship with her for 17 and 20 YEARS resepectively. You don't think maybe they're going to feel hurt and jealous about the new outsider? You don't think maybe they have any right to feel...morerp
25-9-2007That's just how my brother is. My parents never say no to him. All because they think he is ill and needs rest+whatever he wants. But all he is is a fat couch potato who munches on potato chips, soda and junk food all day while rotting in front of a computer. My parents often treat him better th...moreJuju
20-9-2007I don't know if this helps but it is not uncommon for children who have witnessed verbal and/or physical abuse towards their mother to be abusive towards her as well. Perhaps their father (or previous partner) abused the mother and taught the children this behavior. In a divorce situation, c...morePsychotherapist Mom
15-7-2007Zany poke: I was with you all the way until you started blaming women for the evils of modern society. That is neither fair nor true. But up to that point was great!Nikki
14-7-2007We baby-boomers are the first generation in 20,000 years of modern human history who have not -- -- spanked their kids. That's right, instead of smacking our kids on the head or in the mouth, or giving them a good woopin' on the behind with a stick or the electric extension cord (my Mo...moreZany-Poke
