Every situation can be different. In yours less the child than the mother. If she was running interference it would probably always be a no win. In my situation it took 4 years to get more than obligatory politeness from my "daughter" as she now is in every sense. My wife had to wisdom to stay neutral but it was not always easy.

Solinvictus Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I really can't see how some expats come over here and get pulled on a chain by the 'Thai girl.' Hell, I'm not back home, here, if they aren't doing whats right in my book or right for me, we can't even begin to start a relationship. As far as putting up with small insincere examples as mentioned, they can hit the road and off to the next one because after all, that's her view of you or else she wouldn't be not obsessed with you. At least in frequent communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine you are 12 and your mom has various different guys visiting her from time to time. Are you saying you would be fine with it and running up with a big Sawadee for each guy when you know they are only there to spend a little time with you mom? Try to grasp reality. They've been together for a year. I think I know more about thai kids and upbringing here than you do. So you should try to grasp reality. This kid doesn't know how to behave.

dd1988 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 I bring the kid chocolate every visit from costco in bulk. I took the kid to ramayana water park last visit. Brought the kid to mookata a few times last visit. This visit the kid doesnt want to come to mookata with us, wont speak to me. One thing i missed was when hervmom said for her to say bye she did a sarcastic wave thing and said bye in a wierd tone. I thoughy nothing of it until her mom pointed out it was rude and said she was only joking (a lie of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'agreement' was well discussed prior to this event. Moreso that i was told i am not their father. So I knew my position... well it wasn't about the meaning the uttered word, but the now obvious behind closed doors impressing of the choice of that word upon the kid at the time... (she was only 4 then) and forced to show rejection; in it's simplest form. There was a lot more to it... that would tangent things off here a bit I am not a fan of brainwashing kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orientalist Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Having no dad, the daughter may well be insecure. She probably resents you as a rival for her mother's affection or is afraid you will take her away overseas - particularly when you are not in Thailand for long periods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripstanley Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Here is your other thread which is currently running. It appears that you do not care very much for the child.

freestyle Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) The only way is being kind and patient. It's normal anywhere in the world for a teenage kid to reject "the new dad". Look at it from her perspective. Also, you could try a little good cop bad cop psychology. Let the mom be the bad cop. And you act as the good cop who steps in to save her. If the mom shouts at her to make her talk to you, then tell her mom not to be so harsh on her while the daughter can hear it. Let the daughter show you're protective of her, even if she is being a brat to you. Give this some time and you'll be golden.

HelloWelcome77 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Why should you bother, since she's not even your own child? Just treat her the way she treats you, ignore her as she does and, ABOVE ALL, don't pay any bill (i.e school fees and other stuff). By doing so, she might show much more respect within a little while ???? Edited December 20, 2019 by HelloWelcome77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut tells me that her kid is slightly narcissistic and maybe recieves to much praise from her mom. Her kid does not get enouhh socialization outside of school maybe this is a contributing factor. My wife's daughter is 12. I find her shy she doesn't talk much but always has a beaming smile for me. She doesn't speak much English. With children that aren't yours it is difficult. Often they are trying to assess if you are trying to replace the father they already have. You need to make sure she understands that you never want to replace her father you just want to make her life better through her mother 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
