Does anyone else sometimes or i should say most of the time dread being around their stepchild? I have known my daughter since she was 3 and she's 10 now. I can't stand her anymore, i feel that sounds terrible but it's true, and im not sure what to do about it, i don't like it when mom is not around, my daughter and i tend to stay in separate parts of the house, we've even texted each other while in the house instead of talking, that's not right. am i being more harmful to her by being annoyed with her all the time? or should i think about leaving the situation, maybe it would hurt at first but then maybe it would get better. all i know is that i'm constantly annoyed with everything that has to do with her. homework, attitude, friends coming over, losing her stuff, the way she shrugs her shoulders at everything, i don't want to do anything with her anymore, is this normal or is this me telling myself that this relationship is over?
