hi, im separated from the kids dad son15 and daughter 13, im with a man and my daughter does not get on with him, he also has his opinion on her too and he doesn't agree with her. I often try and be referee when they are having a debate and I can feel it getting out of hand. then today my daughter said she wanted to go to school as I am a key worker I aid but u don't need to go she said I want to,my boyfriend then said that's ridiculous they then argued again, she says he gets away with things so why cant she, and she says the same. im in constant tears I cant keep either of them happy, I know my daughter is going to leave and live with her dad when she leaves school and I wont see her again. what can I do? they don't like doing things together ive tried that, im constantly treading on egg shells. can anyone help?

Chuck the man out and put your dd first maybe.

There’s one way you can keep your daughter happy op...

I'd have to agree with Avondklok
If he can't refrain from being an argumentative sod then he'd be out.

DD comes first. He has to go. You're in danger of damaging your own relationship with your DD if she feels she comes second to this, horrible sounding, man

you can only do one thing I'm afraid.

Why do you need to deal with your DF and not your DP?

Imiss2019 · 28/01/2021 19:17

Why can’t she live with her dad now? Not sure why she has to put up with her mums boyfriend who clearly doesn’t like her?

Cloverforever · 28/01/2021 19:35

You do realise you don't have to have a man don't you?

Vtech · 28/01/2021 20:35

Ditch the partner who somehow can’t bc stop himself from arguing with a 13yo girl and things will likely be much better with your daughter

100% leave the man. Your daughter comes first.

PinkSkyBlue · 28/01/2021 20:46

He'd be out, I just don't understand why some mothers put boyfriends before their own children. If your dd choses to live with her father, then it shall be your own doing.

Do you have to live with this man? Im going to assume not. He needs to live elsewhere until your DD moves out.

Im also going to assume she wants to go to school to get away from him. Let her go.

Bourbonbiccy · 28/01/2021 20:54

Get this man out of your DDs space.
If they don't get along don't make her be with him, her home should be her safe place, not somewhere she doesn't want to be.

You are her mum, act like it.

Put him first and you will loose your relationship with your daughter. Focus on your daughter

JiltedJohnsJulie · 28/01/2021 21:04

Sorry OP I have to agree with everyone else. He sounds childish and immature and seems to be missing one vital point, he's the adult.

Is he at home during the day? Is that why she wants to go to school?

You say you can't keep them both happy, but you can make one of them very happy. Kick him out and make your DD happy Smile
