[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, she's not a step child, why? She loves the kids and they love her! The kids are her half brothers and sisters though as they do not have the same dad and I am a single mom.

I just need support sometimes and I do not appreciate the attitude DD gives me sometimes about her responsibilities in this household.

Case and point, the other day DD wanted to go to the mall with a friend. I told her yes but she had to take the 2 DCs with her (2mos and 19 mos). She pitched a fit yelling  at me about how she's "entitled" to free time without the kids. I told her she was being disrespectful and I wouldn't stand for it. She actually said "entitled"! Long story short, she ended up taking the kids with her and having a nice day with them at the mall. Like I have stated before, she is being a self centered brat, but I guess that is to be expected from a teenager. [/quote]

She is entitled to free time without two young children, because they are not her children- they are yours. It sounds like you are expecting quite a bit out of her- she is still a kid herself, didn't choose to be the only other "adult" in your household but it seems like that is kind of her role.

By the way, the kind of "nice day" that you have with an infant and a toddler is very different than the kind you have just hanging out with friends.[/quote]
