I just ignore it. Obviously I see it and I get the whole " You're annoying" message behind it, but, what else can I do? Ask her to not roll her eyes( she'd probably do it even then)

What else can you do??



For starters, STOP reacting in any way to her rude, disrespectful behavior.

She acts that way because YOU GIVE HER what she wants. Do NOT give her what she expects to get when she acts like that. You are rewarding bad behavior.

Stand up to her. Don't tell her to stop rolling her eyes. Ignore it completely. Let her stew in her own juices for once.

I took him out to dinner last night to continue the father/son bonding. Even he thinks she’s being difficult( he brought her up, I don’t bash his mom to him). There’s not much to report, it was a basic conversation of How’s school? You watch the game? I still feel like even small things like that are helpful.

Seems like some man-to-man, one-on-one with him will go a long way. He probably prefers that to be mommy-smothered, I bet. I think he may be the one to stop that.

Today, she asked me when I was giving her the apology gift. I said I didn’t feel right giving her one because I felt like I was buying her affection. She rolled her eyes and I rolled my eyes back at her. Her: “ Did you just roll your eyes at me? You are so childish?” She proceeded to lock herself in our room. When I tried to sit next to her on the couch and she told me to leave. I just sat there and she walked away and told me I was arrogant and self centered.

That is not normal behavior for 2 adults who love and respect one another. You have a rough road ahead I'm afraid.
