Do I keep assisting my stepdaughter with her homework when she thinks most of what I advise her on is wrong?

I'm the only native English speaker and college educated person in my home. My husband's kids (10 girl and 20 yrs old) from his 1st marriage and started learning English about a year ago. I assist the 10 yr old stepdaughter with her homework every night. About 75% of the time the SD is consistently questioning my competence in English and most other subjects. Sometimes she'd rather keep an answer wrong that I tell her needs to be corrected. After almost a year of this I've had it so, I've decided to no longer assist her with her homework at all. She tells anyone who will listen that her brother whose speed of learning is disturbingly SLOW is ';very intelligent';. It's my suggestion to her that she get him or her father (who's illiterate in all languages) to assist her with all school work. I have a rapport with her teacher. She thinks this will impede her learning process but was understanding of my situation. If you were in my situation what would you do?Do I keep assisting my stepdaughter with her homework when she thinks most of what I advise her on is wrong?
Sometimes you can teach them, sometimes they have to learn. Let her do it wrong her way.Do I keep assisting my stepdaughter with her homework when she thinks most of what I advise her on is wrong?
If you have been dealing what that kind of attitude from a step kid for a year I think you should be nominated for sainthood. Like the person who answered earlier it's obvious that you care, or you wouldn't be here asking about it nor would you have tolerated her for that long. I say let her learn her way and take care of yourself for a change. After she repeats a grade or two she'll learn some appreciation for what you were trying to do. It's unfortunate but some people just have to learn things the hard way. But continuing to try and help someone to learn English when she thinks you are not smart enough in your own language to help her will only do her a disservice. It will only teach her to be the kind of ungrateful, arrogant, azz that we have much to many of in the world right now. You are doing the right thing for her and the rest of the world that will have to deal with her in a few years. THANK YOU!
you're actually hindering her progress.. the point of homework is for the kid to show that he or she understands what they have learnt at school. i never got help with homework ever and i just graduated in law with honours. just leave her be (especially if she is ungrateful for your help)
As a step-mother you are doing your best. You are trying to guide her and correct her. You are even posting this question because you obviously care. Unfortunately, there is only so much you can do. If she does not want to accept your guidance and help for her studies, then she will have to learn on her own- unfortunately a bad grade. However, make sure she has to suffer consequences for bring home a bad grade- if not already. Hopefully she will eventually get tired of having privileges taken away from her due to bad grades and that will encourage her to do better.
I think you are doing good helping her but , she seems not to like you helping her just let her do her homework eventhough it migth be wrong sooner or later she migth come to you for help, just keep it clear to her that you will no longer help her with her homework but that you will be there if she needs help.... Also make this clear to your husband to avoid any conflicts later on ... GOOD LUCK !!!
I would grow up. She's a child; she's going to be annoying. Just help her and when he disagrees with you, I want you to put your answer or have her work out the problem your way or whatever, onto a seperate piece of paper. Turn that in with the homework. See whose answers are consistently correct on those questions. Maybe this will help her to trust you.





Or maybe, more likely, there are other issues with you and her...you sound impatient and she sounds unaccepting. Work on your relationship with her. Try to foster love and trust.
If you've had it, you've had it. She's obviously not willing to learn from you, so let her flounder. If she comes back to you and is willing to let you help, consider it. Otherwise, pick up a good book, and let it go.
