OP’s stepdaughter, A, is causing trouble with her father, who is not helping her financially and is stealing from her girlfriends. The stepdaughter believes her father buys all her gifts, including birthday presents, toys, clothes, and gadgets. Despite counseling and therapy, stepdaughter behavior continues to escalate. OP has tried to discipline her but has not been successful. Recently, OP bought her a phone, but she still behaves rudely. OP is at a loss for words and is considering not paying for anything she needs or wants anymore. OP is also considering taking her to therapy and being more patient.
Therefore, continue reading the entire story that OP is narrating below and make sure to read it through to the end; otherwise, you won’t be able to tell us whether OP is an A-hole or not.
1. The OP asks users whether he’s an A-hole for not paying for anything for her stepdaughter; let’s dive deeper into this case.

2. A, OP’s stepdaughter, does not like him since she feels her dad is better, while her real dad is a crack addict who uses her girlfriend for money. A believes her dad gets her everything, but OP and her mom do.
3. OP’s wife tried counseling and therapy, but A seems fine for a few days, then snaps. On A’s birthday, OP gave her a phone she wanted. She called OP and thanked her dad while being disrespectful.
4. When the OP finally had enough of her disrespect, he informed her wife that he wouldn’t be paying for whatever she needed. The wife took offense to hearing this and began calling him an a-hole. He is now asking Redditors for advice on determining if he is an a-hole.

5. Here’s an edit the OP provided us with in which he said he would be paying for items she would need and also taking her to therapy.
6. Exactly, how can something like this can make such a great step-dad an A-hole. NTA.
7. And this is what OP decided to do.
8. Maybe she is doing all this to make OP feel bad. What are your thoughts about this ladies and gentlemen?
9. This is a great idea if OP implies it and sees what A’s reaction is.
10. Literally, most of the people said OP is not an A-hole, and we definitely know why. And by the way, this scenario could be a possibility.
11. From today on, she will be getting only the necessities.
12. And OP has been taking her to therapy, but all the struggles went in vain.
13. I could not agree with this user more.

14. She needs to behave, although OP is such a great dad and he doesn’t deserve to be talked to rudely, to be honest.

15. I really hope this will straighten her attitude.
16. She definitely needs some tough love in order to understand she’s taking things for granted for real.
17. A wise response from the user.
18. But she needs to get her things straight before anything bad happens.
19. Supporting and, as you know, treating these kinds of tantrums can lead to more trouble.

20. And this is exactly what would be happening from now on.
