Worse by the weeks

Every week when SD comes over, her attitude is worse than the week before. Last week, we took all the kids to the pumpkin patch and while riding on a ride my SD hits another little girl because she said hi to her. SD admitted to hitting the little girl, I told her Dad what happened and his response was "let's go on another ride." Rewarding her for bad behavior...how is that possible? She shouldn't have been able to ride anymore rides.

Today, she punches her brother in the head for trying to close their bedroom door. She gets a time out and then it's lunch time. At the lunch table, she tells her brother not to talk to her and he better not bother her. 

She decides she isn't hungry, I ask her to bring me her bowl so I can save her food for later. The whole way to the kitchen she's running her mouth so I tell her to change her attitude. I tell her to sit down until her brother is done eating, she then repeats over and over I better not talk to her or bother her. I send her to her room where she starts chanting "Stacy better not talk to me or bother me" over and over. I attempt to close her door and she starts screaming.

I tell her Dad what's going on to which he responds, she won't get the tablet. I'm sorry, but that's not correcting her behavior. I remind him, I don't allow my son to talk to him that way or be mean. When he finally decides to talk to her about it, she said she knows she's being mean and doesn't want to be nice.

Tell her if she wants to act below her age, she will be put to bed early then every time she talks back or is violent to someone else send her out to her room. Follow her and tell her “you can be around us once you’ve decided to be nice” then shut the door. She’s doing this for attention so take that from her.
