Step-motherhood.

Maybe you could set up a day where it's just her and her dad to go do fun stuff together and over time maybe she will accept you. Step families can get tricky sometimes I think as she is growing up she will be more into you being in her daddies life. Things will get better don't worry.

to me it don't seem like race has anything to do with the issue. she is young and the that is her daddy. she is just not use to daddy having another girl. she has to get use to you. just keep on treating her nice, and may be one day you two will be close, but it might take time.

I helped raise three step children. I got along pretty good with two, but one was very resentful of me. Kids usually want their parents to get back together but once you're married they realize that isn't going to happen. She probably does have some jealousy, even though it doesn't make sense to you, she sees you as a threat. Try to be her friend but don't get pushy about it, and let dad do the disciplining when necessary. Now that my stepchildren are all grown, they are my best friends, including the one who resented me. Just be patient and give her plenty of time to get used to this new arrangement.
