Is it abusive to push your political and religious views on a child? My daughter's dad doesn't parent her (wash her, feed her, clothe her, read to her, homework etc) but he thinks its acceptable to push his nutty ideas on to a 4 year old. She has little comprehension of what he's on about, but the only time he talks to her is when he wants to push his views. She is also not allowed to celebrate western holidays now, although we did before. She's looking forward to Christmas and he wants to ruin it. He has adopted these new ideas, and it seems like he has nobody else to talk to, or people just don't want to hear his nonsense so he's using my child as some kind of springboard to let off steam?
Why can't he just parent her and leave this bollocks until she's old enough to understand? I feel like he's trying to control what she thinks.
