I Have A Boyfriend

I have been dating a guy for 3 weeks. He has a 7 year old daughter and she don’t like me at all. She is a little witch and she is very rude to me and my daughters.
She has told me that I’m ugly and stupid. Ladt night when I gave the girls ice cream she said that she will never take anything from me.

I see somewhere on this thread you mention her mother lost her life in an auto accident.

I would say that she is probably coping with this terrible loss as best she can at that age. It's not every child that is as honest about how she's feeling.

Of course, you or I or any adult wouldn't understand how ghastly it must feel to live through the loss and see someone else matter of factly doing the sorts of things her beloved mom no longer is there to do.

She's got no need to be patient with you just yet. You could never expect to replace her mother but you can let her know that you wouldn't think to. Trusting a little kid that knows what she's feeling and isn't ashamed to show it is not easy I'll grant you.

Hoping she'll see something in you that makes your patience worth her kindness at some point is only something another young girl that became a mother could ever do. Most would block out such a powerful notion as imagine themselves in that kids shoes.

She was probably all adjusted to the idea of being the senior lady of the house as well.

Her competitive behavior with you is a bit ahead of schedule. Or perhaps think of it as early female teen years coming ahead of schedule.

These are only the things that crossed my mind. I have no ability to offer any seriously pro or experienced advice.

Just a few observations. That's all.
