Dd doesn't like my new boyfriend

349 replies

wonderingwendy · 02/06/2014 18:40

What can I or he do to resolve this?
We have been dating for six months and about a month ago he came over to for a quick hello meet and greet.boys really warmed to him (16&7yrs) but dd didn't.
She has been awful when he pops in even though he tries hard to engage with her.i get alot of nasty comments via the Internet whilst he is here and then when he goes its tears , , comments and I get the silent treatment.
She is 13yrs
Any ideas?

I'll never be so off-hand to a Jammy Dodger again.

MultipleMama · 08/06/2014 20:27

The jammie dodger is a force to be reckoned with!

SelectAUserName · 08/06/2014 20:31

I'm quaking, quite frankly. Should I be fashioning a barricade?

mrsbrownsgirls · 08/06/2014 22:27

me too.
you are all so intelligent and non reactionary.Confused

now run along girls and do your pathetic bitter best to wreck some other woman's happy imperfect relationship

Waltermittythesequel · 08/06/2014 22:33

Yes mrs and you keep encouraging her to emotionally abandon her children.

Because of course getting laid is more important than her child's emotional well being.

brdgrl · 08/06/2014 22:39

And you keep repeating the same overwrought garbage about emotional abandonment and getting laid...do you write for the Daily Mail, by any chance? Get a good sub-editor, and you might be onto something.

eh? more extrapolation.

I have never advised/encouraged OP to emotionally abandon her children.

Pray tell where you picked up that notion? your Fairy world imagination`? I understand it's an unstoppable mysterious force (aimed at gullibe nice folks }

have you got your big self righteous boots on?
Have you read the thread?
DO keep up

Funny that my stepchildren, husband, and in-laws see it differently, then! But of course, you know more than the people actually involved in a situation, don't you, walter? Forget the Daily Mail, you should get a job on a psychic hotline.

Sorry to disappoint, I've been having a lovely weekend with my stepchildren. :)

NickiFury · 08/06/2014 22:58

Oh I am happy to hear that actually, you've clearly taken on board some of the advice given here. Good for you!

MultipleMama · 08/06/2014 23:05

Now, now ladies. No need for insults on either side.

If the OP wishes to put the needs of her love life before the concerns of her child, then let her. I just feel sorry for her daughter and sons, if that's the case.

There's more to the story but ultimately we have been given a mixed, mislead one and it's a little easier to judge someone and harder to give advice when you find the story overlaps and put the poster in a bad light.

I'm off to munch on some jammie dodgers before going to bed!

brdgrl · 08/06/2014 23:42

Oh I am happy to hear that actually, you've clearly taken on board some of the advice given here.
On the contrary, I've simply been following the same advice I give to others (based, you know, on my actual experience). I haven't asked for advice on MN in a while (well, I did get some excellent advice about my DD's toilet habits), so I'm not sure which bits of sagacity you think you are referring to.

Monty27 · 09/06/2014 00:17

I asked you to pm me and explain this thread...

I'm even more confused now Confused

NickiFury · 09/06/2014 00:25

Took a while to come up with that didn't it Wink?

Don't worry I have no interest whatsoever in skirmishing with you any further on this thread, or indeed anywhere else. Though I am sure we will cross swords again because I actually think you do a lot of damage on these boards brdgrl you have the tenacity and aggression of a Rottweiler and that would be a good thing if the advice you were dishing out wasn't so screwed up and downright toxic. There's a real anger that comes across in your posts and hounding of posters who won't agree with you and the fact that you just lie and try to discredit other posters in order to win your arguments is worrying.

Anyhoo I am only grateful that I am not a small child that has to deal with you in RL.

brdgrl · 09/06/2014 01:03

Where have I lied, Nicki?
You make a sport of bashing posters. I get a lot of messages from other posters who say that I have helped them - do you? Honestly? Because you really do seem to see this as a site for recreation rather than support.

As for hounding, that is pretty much your forte, not mine - I haven't been the one to bring up poster's personal situations or drag in other threads here; I have replied to your, and others', posts. I reply to OPs in good faith, and I don't try to tear people down when they are looking for understanding or advice.

There are very personal attacks against me on the last few posts on this thread, which is different from 'disagreement' or even an aggressive posting style, and which clearly and explicitly contravenes MN guidelines.

You keep saying that you have no interest in 'skirmishing' with me, but you jump in when I haven't even addressed a post to you. Just for example, your post of 22:54:21 - I responded to a post from waltermitty, and you went on the attack - why, if you have no interest in me (as you keep saying), do you feel the need to do so?

differentnameforthis · 09/06/2014 03:25

Thanks for the biscuit...was feeling a little peckish!

some other woman's happy imperfect relationship

NOTHING on this thread points to a happy relationship. Op may think it is, but a grown man sulking & withdrawing contact because his gf wants to put her dd first is not someone I would say is capable of making any woman happy!

It is a new relationship, he should be falling over himself to make her happy, he isn't!

superstarheartbreaker · 09/06/2014 05:00

Hmmm.this thread has become a bit heated. Op has introduced new man too soon. New man soinds a bit controlling if hes having a strop at ths stage and not wanting to take it slow. Op does not deserve vilification though. Quite likely messed up by divorce. Very tricky indeed.

NickiFury · 09/06/2014 07:07

brdgrl Pot, Kettle, Black!

We have been on two threads together. On BOTH those threads you have accused me of being a long standing troll with secret and sinister reasons for posting. You have done this to discredit and undermine me and my posts. I think this is a pretty underhand way to conduct yourself on a forum and while I know this is your modus operandi, I am afraid I have no intention of accepting that.

You came on THIS thread whinging about posters searching user names for more previous information, it seemed relevant to me that you had done the exact same thing on the thread we were on together. You then told the thread at large that you believed me to be a long standing troll who was posting to attack "step mothers" you then did exactly the same here. Purely because I disagreed with you.

You then returned to this thread with your usual aggressive posting style to which I responded.

If you don't like getting some back, don't dish it out.
