My almost 8yr old daughter has an attitude that stinks like the tip.I might aswell be something on the bottom of her shoe. I bought her new trainers,had her hair-cut(how she wanted it)bought her some new clothes. I then take my son for his hair cut and i dont love her i spend all my money on Tyler.She never gets anything. I ignore her bad behaviour and then i get"you hate me,why dont you listen to me"

and that just about sums it up
child has no discipline and you sem to be incapable of enforcing any. when I were a lad I wouldn't have dreamed of shouting at my mum or dad or I would have felt his hand( and before anyone says, I was hit only once and I knew I deserved it before it happened because I deliberately did what I was told not to it ).
Now even if you don't believe in smacking you could use other tools, No TV for a week, take new trainers off her, no computer games, no playing out with mates, no burgers/take aways. Its up to you to make her life uncomfortable in whatever way you can. then and only then do you stand a chance at controlling her. she has to learn to earn your respect through good behaviour. then and only then does she deserve teh treats you gave her. You will be doing her a favour in teh long run, respect is something she must have for people if she stands any chance of getting on in life.
