My sis #2 has a younger step daughter. She is cling to me like crazy! She has no since of personal boundaries!
Big problem is that she has a problem with people telling her that they need space and to be told no. She has already told me she wants me just to hang around a party. This is scary due to knowing she has done stuff to get people fired from their jobs due to telling her something she did not like.
All I want to do is get to work, save money so I can get far away!
If I am as lucky as I think I will be, I will be working weekend when she is around.

(14,120 posts)Her parents are divorced and believed that giving her leeway with many things. She got anything she wanted hen she wanted it.
This has caused her to think she is privileged and all must do what she wants when she wants.
The kid needs to understand boundaries and that she can't have anything.
This problem has hurt some people already. I have no clue how she has kept out of trouble.

(14,120 posts)Her problem is that she always get what she wants. It goes back to her younger years. With her mom and dad being divorced that felt that they had to give her more everything and not giver that many boundaries.
She now has a belief that everyone has got to do what she wants. She is one of those kids that are very popular do to the activities she is in, Her friends do whatever she wants because they want to be cool to.
She thinks all adults are to cater to her like her parents. She also believes she should be able to do whatever. And heaven help the one that does not do what she says or gives her what she wants.
She is 13 years right now, this keeps up, it does not bode well.
Kids really do need boundaries!
