If she is his step daughter, and his wife does not sort her, she and her daughter might find themselves without an ATM. If he is indeed the family ATM, I don't think any onus is on him to change his attitude. Simplest solution is if she's old enough to drive, she's old enough to move elsewhere. Kick her out, and if his wife won't wear that, leave and take his money with him. Now that would really show both of them. Children shouldn't rule the marriage, though it seems that they do in many relationships. My first ex wouldn't modify her children's behaviour and I walked out on them. How do you know that the girl needs to "be sorted out?" Where did he state that she lives in the same house? Asking such a question on an open forum shows the guy's character. And I have my doubts that this daughter really exists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you cannot find a less dramatic and more acceptable solution? seems a bit excessive and OTT? One of the meanest things I ever said to my father was "in 10 years, when your kids are grown and you're sitting all alone in your house because they never visit, remember this day". Sounds like the OP is having one of those days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's a step dad it's none of his problem. I've been there, got the T shirt, and looking back my biggest mistake was trying to be "dad". I should have left herself to take care of them, as we ended up disliking each other- them because I was telling them what to do but not being their father, and me because they were always causing me grief and herself wouldn't do anything about it.

I never saw him for many years after I started work, but I did visit him to say goodbye when he was very old, and he was so desperate for company it was rather pathetic.

He had to take care of everyone in the family on his own back financially...While Mum stayed home and done her job making the home. Thats the way it was, but some allowed their kids too much freedom, and as a result, the word respect disappeared from our culture.... a long time ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I was attempting to make was that, having a choice between being right and improving a relationship with your loved ones, being right is easier and feels good in the moment. But I'd rather have a better relationship with my loved ones for the long haul. Going back to my Dad, he changed for the Grandkids. We kept telling them, "He isn't the same guy we all grew up with. That's an old guy trying to get into Heaven." Edited April 13, 2018 by impulse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep...When the kids grew up and found their own feet to stand on, Dad became obsolete, and then had time to relax and stop worrying about the kids future...Thats the difference....It was his turn, but the kids of today dont take that into account.

The manic Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 It appears to be an ostentatious demonstration of spite and a criminal waste of money. What example are trying to set? It does not take genius to see the metaphor. You are not crushing a car. You are symbolically crushing your daughter. Give the car to a needy charity and encourage your errant child to do some kind of community work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
