Question by Belle: What do U do (if anything) about an 11 YO ignoring U, & giving U the “silent treatment” & passive resistance
Step child lives w/step mom & her father since last year. S.M. has no bio kids/1st marriage. Bio mom speaks no English, lives in another country but requested father to kid till 2009. SC also wanted to come live with father/SM “for a few years”. Example pf problem: S.C. agrees to not ask for toys/treats if she wants 2 go 2 drug store with you. 3 minutes in, she’s asking. U both remind her of agreement. For next 3+ hours anything U / husband says to her is met with icy silence. SM is w/her more and gets the worst of it. SM asks SC, “Where is the document your teacher gave U for lunch?” and gets ignored. SM may say, “OK, Its 9:45 PM & time for bed.” Silence & no movement. Unless SM has something SC wants (a DVD/pizza/etc) this can last until the next AM! Father works 90+ hr wkly & sometimes tells S.C. to stop but is NOT CONSISTANT (One day he tolerates it, next day her lectures her about the same thing) Additionally he’s said 100Xs “no counseling!”. How would U handle these behaviors?
