Hi. I'm a parent to my 5 year old daughter with whom I separated from her mum last year. Since then I've found another partner who has a 2 year old girl. To cut to the chase it's been difficult merging discipline "routines" as I know I'm more lenient. Last week we had a bit of a difference off opinion when her daughter sneezed and a LOT of snot came out and my daughter was a bit upset and "grossed" out by it. My partner got annoyed when I didn't stop her from crying immediately and started to console her instead of being firm. There's been other things too when my daughter doesn't say thank you/please all the time. I think something's are her just being 5 but my partner doesn't see it and expects too much in my opinion.
Yours struggling Dad.
