my boyfriend stayed over last night and although we had a good night he has really upset me this morning
my daughter ( whos 2 ) woke up at 6:30am crying at the stairgate on her bedroom door and woke us both up....I'm fine with this as I get up at 7am anyway and he needed to be up at 7:30ish but I knew he would be moody she was crying so I put the light on in her bedroom and said she could read books quietly while I went to get dressed....bearing in mind she had been asleep since 7pm straight ( she normally wakes in night ) I was quite proud of her
anyway I went to get dressed commenting how cute she sounded reading a book to her teddies....He started going on at me that shes like a newborn ( ie so demanding and cries for what she wants ) has got me wrapped round her little finger, has no routine ( as wakes in night ) etc etc.....I don't know what to say he seems to pick up on every tantrum etc she has which is normal as she's 2!!! but apparently his son never did blah blah blah....just hurts as shes so sweet to him and feel like i need to say something to stand up for her... but what???? saying this is pretty standard 2 yr old behaviour doesn't work as his child/his mates children don't act like that apparently....

Personally I'd get rid of him if I'm honest, he sounds awful. It's a baby FFS, what is he expecting?

What do you say to him? 'Goodbye'.

You need to put strong boundaries in place when you have a very young child. Please practise this now. And don't ever leave her alone with him - and you know why.

Your loyalty is to your child, not him, so I wouldn't put up with that I'm afraid.

Was he living with his son at age 2? (My first thought). Tantrums are a fairly normal developmental stage when children have wants they cannot express and start to exert themselves.
As for his friends children. Ffs most toddlers are cute and lovely around their parents friends (if well entertained).

She slept from 7pm to 6.30am with no wake up? And then was happy to read books quietly? She is FANTASTIC!

Your OH, not so much..

I would invite him to grow the fuck up and keep his unwanted parenting opinions to himself.
Then I'd bin him for being such an obvious arse.

I'd say goodbye - and also wonder how much actual time he'd personally spent looking after his son!

You need to get rid. Horrible attitude to a very small child.

He's a dick. I'm sorry.

And he shouldn't be comparing two children.

I'd be saying see ya, knobhead.

As a lone patent I personally haven't let any man I've been seeing stay over or meet my child. When and if I do it will be because they're a good person who fully understands boundaries and that my DD comes first. I would have handed his arse to him on s plate before kicking humour of my house and my life for good if I were you.

Only one person there is acting like a baby...him. Tell him to get lost. Your DD deserves a better male in her life than a resenting whinger.

What a twat. He sounds like a potential danger tbh.

But I'm fiercely protective of my kids. I'd make sure the door slammed on him on the way out.

Don't let him back in your home. Seriously, he's no good for you and definitely no good for your daughter.

You can do better than him OP, you deserve it and your DD deserves it.

I'd ditch him pronto.

Your DD sounds absolutely lovely. And she deserves a much, much better (potential) Step Father than that arse hole. She's only two Sad

Get rid! My 6y/o still wakes in the night FFS!

At 2 they are still babies in my opinion.

God, he'd have been in the street in his jamas if he'd said that about my DD.
