2YO DD hot & cold with new BF

Hi all. Sorry if not right group to post on, but would like some advice from those who have walked the path. My beautiful daughter is 2.5, and is very opinionated and sassqueen. She says it as it is. She has met my new boyfriend, and seemed to like him a lot. She asks if he’s coming over every night, says she wants to show him things and wants to do things with him. But she’s still very hot and cold when he’s there, sometimes runs off and cries, is really attached to me. Does it get better? Should I listen to her behaviours instead or her saying she likes him? She told me today she doesn’t want him to come on holiday with us. Any advice?

Poor little girl, how awful the way you describe her, and how many other men has she had in her short life already ?

Ugh. Your post is so wrong I hope you reconsider how you live. And yes that is judging but really this awful

I think slow down and focus on your child. No one is saying not to have a relationship, but perhaps keep it separate as he is a new boyfriend.

At this stage, there is no need for him to be on holiday with you and your daughter.

And what happens when you split up with him? You need to keep your relationship with him more separate

Jesus. You're supposed to be the adult here, OP. Not expecting your "sassqueen" 🤔 two year old to approve or otherwise of your boyfriend.

How new is your new boyfriend? I'm assuming you're in you twenties.
