Hi. I am a mum of 1 beautiful little girl, who will be 4 in 2 weeks time. DD has always been a pleasure to be around and in my eyes you don't get many children as well behaved or mannered as her. I have been with my partner now for 3 years who is not her father, she has grown a relationship with him now of course. He has just bought a house and wants us to move in with him, its a lovely house, garden and spare rooms and garage.... Perfect place to bring up a child. The only problem is, is that I feel hes too strict on her and I don't want her to be unhappy, her behaviour has descended in this past month and I am dealing with it the best I can but I feel like he is telling me what I should be doing with her to discipline her too much, i feel like he never gives her a break, even minor things like making a mess or spilling food hes on her back, im fed up of it, i think he struggles to remember she is 3 not 13, I feel like he wants her to behave immaculately 24/7 and this past few weeks he has said a few things that have concerned me 'in this new house there will be none of that, i am the boss, i will have the authority' I do not want to be in the position where i feel embarrassed of something my daughters done in the new house because of him making me feel like its his house and his rules. I feel so silly because i know he loves us dearly and i know he just wants the best for her but im sick of being stuck between my daughter and him, because of course, my daughter will always win and its causing problems in our relationship. Can anyone give me advice? or if it was you, what you would do? We are due to move in, in 2 weeks time xx
