I have a step daughter 11 whom lives with us. I WAS stupid! I used to have her bathed, fed, paid for her school uniforms and clothes, corrected her behaviour etc etc etc until one day I realised that actually this kid was just one big pain in butt that I was totally responsible for! She was onto a winner I was onto a loser. Funnily enough she wouldn't do as she was told for me, constantly lying and manipulating and getting me more and more pissed off. I don't like her, I don't want to be her mother. She has one.
