My soon to be ex has different parenting techniques to me. His daughter is a chronic whinger and a bit spoiled. I don't blame her. She's only 6. Her dad (my partner) panders to her and sends many mixed messages re: behaviour (e.g. winding her up but telling her not to do the same to other kids). He thinks he's an awesome patent and no doubt enjoys parenting.
Anyway, my DC (aged 4 and 6) love his daughter. They play together and have sleepovers. I know for my sanity I need to go NC with him. I've tried to explain to my DC but they're very upset. I feel terribly guilty. How to handle this? It's the first blended family situation I've been in.
We've been together 6 months btw. In heinsight I will wait longer in future before blending. I've learned my lesson.
