I’ve got 3 sons. One daughter who I’m really close with. She’s close to my partner, her Dad but he still talks to her as if she is 12, moans at her, constantly asks her to do things for him, takes the mick out of her and isn’t the most nurturing tbh. My partner is also quite moody and bad tempered at times which I find hard work. Anyway I’d love to take my daughter away for the weekend to another city somewhere. I told my partner this and he’s went in a mood as he wants to go. It would be a totally different dynamic and not as fun for my daughter going with mum and dad and also we are more like friends. I’ve said to him he should go with his brother or son somewhere but he’s in a really bad mood. He wasn’t taken anywhere as a child whilst his mum and dad went away every year. I feel like his response to me saying I want to go with just my daughter is through issues from his childhood and being left but that’s not my problem. I don’t feel I’m being unreasonable to want one weekend away with my daughter. He’s just making it all about him and him wanting to go away not about spending time with us. I feel like I need a break from him due to his moods. AIBU?

There is no justification on the planet for allowing your child to be bullied by an adult. Even if it's not all the time.
'daddys girl' was likely fawning, learning how to appease angry males. So damaging.

Edited

It really wasn’t, she wouldn’t agree she is bullied and she stands up to him if he annoys her. She wanted her dad over me when younger and he was very caring then
