This .... And it sounds like your ex is not.

I don't think it is unreasonable for your DD to not be very interested in befriending GF, but it wouldn't be so hard for her to watch an hour or two of TV with them.

I do think she needs to communicate more with her Dad about both of their expectations for DD/GF's relationship. You should try to avoid being the go-between there.


Dumb advise. She's an adult if she doesn't like her she doesn't like. She's not saying "hey dad dump her" or "hey dad choose" she saying she coming to spend finite time with her dad alone. Otherwise she's got better things to do. And yes in school an hour of TV is a lot.
