My partner and I have been together for 3years now. I have a daughter (8) from a previous relationship the father has never been in the picture. My partner and her have been fighting lately which causes us to fight then me and her to fight i am so over fighing as we have never argued before this. Her attitude has changed this last few months
I'm not sure what has coursed it or if it's just her hormones going wild.
She is just so angry all the time.
Does notting she is told, will not help out around the house, can bearly get a conversation out of her with out her snaping or just grunting at you. Dont get me started on dinner time its just so full on and can take her up to an hr and half for her to eat something. It's like she just wants to fight.
My partner and her get along so great before all this has started now it's just nit picking at each other on the daily basis.
We have tryed rewards, pocket money, time out chair notting is working.
Has anyone else been through is before?
How can I fix this?

firstly, i'm so sorry that your family is going through this. this is an example of majorly acting out, and there'll be a reason that you should try to figure out to get to the bottom of the behaviour. she could be going through early puberty (its happened at 8 years of age), but it seems like there might be something else going on. how does she go at school? does she talk much about school? is there a possibility that she's being bullied? i remember being similar to this as a teen, around 14, but i was similar to this. If you're able to, you may be able to access counselling, but seeing as though she's 8, it can be difficult. you can speak to your GP as well and discuss an appropriate referral.
i really hope that things work out positively for you and your family, it really sounds like theres something else going on that needs to be discussed. she's still a kid, and might not be able to express how she's really feeling.
best of luck.
If she has hit puberty , the i will say, you probably have a few more years of this to come.
