I have real issues with my dd she is a handful and after a few days away with my mum Ive been told I have no control over her, she doesnt respect me at all and my dh is useless and too soft
She is almost 8 now and my only child I do adore her and wish Id had another but my dh and I have had problems over the years and although weve stayed together and are okay, he doesnt want anymore children which was always one of the problems.
Ive felt like I am always the disciplinarian and although he helps alot practically around the house and is very kind and patient he is rubbish at dicispline and she has zero respect for him, I always have to step in or do everything with her because she just runs away from him or screams at him or locks herself in rooms etc its a joke....or atleast she thinks it is!
I have seen similar spoilt madam behaviour in many of her friends and Im sure she is not the worst but my parents are affecting my relationship both with my dd and my dh. I have started really arguing with him a bout being a useless dad and not being able to control her etc
My mums says that if we cant control her now she is going to be a nightmare and it terrifies me
