They didn ' t rig anything for her in 2016 either . <| sep |> When does a pile cease to become a pile , or a mass cease to become a mass ? <| sep |> I feel for you . Your step daughter sounds a lot like my youngest step sibling . He was a woefully unattractive child , overweight , with buck teeth and Coke bottle glasses . Your stepchild sounds rather mentally slow , and my step brother has a genius IQ , which made him even more annoying in his way . He was not a good person , and as he grew into a snotty mouthed know it all rebellious teen , he nearly caused the break up of my mom ' s marriage to my step dad . They hung together , but it was not good during those years that stepbrother was causing havoc . Like your husband , my step dad spoiled and took the side of his nasty kid . The good news is , their marriage survived , and the kids turned into an okay human being . Not an enjoyable person to hang out with , and still every bit the Captain Know It All he always was , but , a functional employee and a pretty darn good daddy to the coolest little girl ever . Your stepdaughter does not sound like a kid I ' d enjoy being around . The lack of intelligence and imagination the physical unattractiveness , and the way you describe the speech impediment are not traits with which I have a whole lot of personal experience , and the clingy , whiny , spoiled behavior just puts her firmly in that category of other people ' s kids I ' m glad are not mine . I can see why you don ' t like her . You still have to be nice to her , and do your best by her . You know that , though , as is evident from your post . Her dad really needs to step up here , because he has a disaster in the making on his hands . Firm boundaries , a healthier diet , and maybe some counseling and educational intervention could go a long way into turning her into a more likeable and happier kid , because I do not believe she is very happy . As an adult human , I feel for her , but am so glad not to have to be around those issues ! Please try again to get her daddy ugh ! !!!! to see what she needs . Best to you all !
