My partner & his 16 year old daughter recently moved into my house. He divorced her mum ten years ago and never got involved with anyone until me as he wanted to focus on his daughter who he has 50pc share of.

She isn't happy about living in my house. They were living very close to her friends before and my place is a 30 minute bus ride away. I can understand that it would be strange for her but it will take us all a period of time to get used to. I have no children so there aren't any blended family issues. She does no housework and her father has never expected her to, I accept that and as the way it is (can't teach an old dog new tricks. Fortunately my partner knows that picking up after her isn't my responsibility so he does it, when I tell him to.

My issue is that she ignores me. She comes to my house and does not say hello, will not look at me or acknowledge me when she walks into the room, then leaves without saying goodbye. I said something to my partner who did speak to her but she still continues to do it. I got upset with him and told him that he wasn't showing me any respect my allowing this to happen, he talked to her again but she got mad with him. And, then he tells me that I'm over-reacting and causing problems!

We talked about this afterwards and he thinks I should let it go. Let her come around in her own time otherwise she will be false when saying hello. Frankly I don't care whether she likes me or not, but I expect to be treated with respect and her to use her manners under my roof.

Sorry for the long post, I'm very frustrated dealing with the starry eyed Disney Dad and his princess! Please offer suggestions
