His spoilt daughter

My B/F of 5 years has a 16 year old Daughter who does not like me and will not speak to me. She passes his door and will not call in to see him! The only time she will see him is when she wants something! We do not live together. My family and I are going away for the wkend and we invited him to come see us on Sunday he said it is too far. The next day he said his daughter has phoned and asked him to take her to see people her and her mother met on holiday, he told her he can do it on Sunday !! It is a lot farther away than where we are. If he doesn;t take her he said it will cause more trouble. I do not agree but told him he should do what he wants to do. He said he does not want to!! I do not understand why he would drive 200 miles to see people he has never met???

Well that's a bit odd. I'm not questioning your Friends parenting abilities but I think he should be more firmer with his daughter. It seems that he is letting his daughter run the show and that's not how it's supposed to be. I think he and his wife should decide between themselves wether to go or not, and not let the daughter get the upper hand. Children are supposed to be subject to their parents and respect their decisions. No is no and that's all there is. If he and his wife start making their decisions final, their daughter will learn to accept what they say and it will teach her discipline and I'm sure she will grow up to be a much better person. The worst thing to do is spoil a teenager, they will only get worse If you do. Hope this helps, good luck
