Dear GhanaWeb: My boyfriend’s daughter is manipulative

Dear GhanaWeb,

Help. I hate my boyfriend’s daughter. She is only 10 (a year older than my daughter) and has caused me more damage than good since I started dating her father.

She is lazy, manipulative, and needy, just like her mother. She is behind at school and whines constantly.

I have tried to help her, but she instead tells her father things I know nothing about, including cheating on him. It’s gotten to the point that I ignore her completely.

I often criticize her father and later feel bad. I think her mother is influencing her behaviour. My boyfriend says she is a good kid, but I enjoy it better when she is not around.

Should I talk with my boyfriend about this again or just call it quits?
