DH has SD age 11 EOW, 3 weeks in summer, 1/2 of breaks. He has her for 7 days in a row starting Thursday. Issue is SD does not have any interest in anyone but herself and has been this way always. DH and BM divorced 8 years ago when SD was 3. DH and I have been together 7.5 yrs, married 5.5, so this whole step thing is more "old hat" now. My issue is SD has no interest in her dad...I have talked w/her, he has talked w/her etc. Issue is BM's life revolves around SD and she doesn't discipline SD, etc. At BM's house there's a cleaning lady, lawn boy, etc. At our house (GASP) we clean our own house and do our own lawn work...REAL LIFE. SD doesn't show any interest in ANYTHING unless the topic is about her or it's something for her, and I'm just tired of it. She just stares at me w/this blank stare when I say something to her...she's lifeless and is only here b/c she has to be...so I'm looking real forward to the week w/her. Any advice?
