At the end of my rope! My partner of 2 years still doesn't like my daughter!

[anipunkymum]

hi! I have an 11 year old daughter, and my partner argues constantly with her about everything, even if she takes 5 mins taking a glass or cup into the kitchen! She has to get 2 buses to and from school and she is tired when she gets home and he still argues! He was brought up in a strict house and was hit with a spoon if he did wrong, but i believe in happy parenting with rewards and praise and only restrictions happen if she totally messes up.We argue all the time about it, and i was in tears yesterday in public as i took him out for a meal, and he started on me about caitlin. He said i am not bringing her up 'strict' enough. please help!

I have a friend who was in this situation. Her husband hated her son. It lasted for 5 yrs and then they parted. 5 yrs of that poor boy's life :(

She is struggling with massive guilt now because she knows she stayed too long and allowed the situation to continue hoping the marriage would last/get better ...or it would all be fine when her DS left home. She sacrificed his childhood hoping to get a long relationship from it.

Whatever you do......... fix it please

Grow a spine and dump this man.

Looks like OP has gone......this is worrying as it could mean that she wasn't prepared for such a negative response. Can you just pop back OP to let us know how you feel about the posts.
