Please does anyone have suggestions for how my daughter might overcome what seem like impossible problems bringing together her parenting with her partner's?Both have two children under five from a previous relationship. The problem is our family expect, and have taught, manners, respect, good language and learning skills, and our two children are sensitive, secure and kind. Their mum was married to their father. The other two children have been on the At Risk register, left to fend for themselves by a drug user mother, they have lived a chaotic unstimulating, unsupportive lifestyle and frankly are understandably wild, lacking boundaries and articulacy.. They constantly scream, fight, and shove and are on the go all the time. You can't even read them a story, they never sit still. Their Dad 's response is to love and indulge, a neglected child himself he knows nothing other than Neglect or Indulge. He never lived with his children, their mum has other older children with different fathers and would not risk her Benefits, housing and party lifestyle by settling down. How on earth can this relationship ever work?
