[quote=Anonymous]I don't think dressing a 7 year old is any indication of something 'bad' happening. Lots of parents still see their 7 year olds naked and help them with clothes.

12-15 minutes is a long time to get dressed so she is obviously dawdling, playing, and taking her time. I can see this being aggravating to a parent who is in a rush to get out the door and who hasn't built that time into the morning routine.

Him doing it is also an issue for her independence - this is something she can and wants to do on her own.

You could talk to him but you could also talk to her about getting dressed faster. It takes two minutes to pull clothes on. So you could have fun practice games at your house and remind her that when she is at dads she has to do her speed dressing instead of going slowly. Likely if she can show him she can get dressed in a reasonable amount of time then he will back off.

If you can talk to him I would approach it from the independence point of view and that you are helping her learn to get dressed in a more time efficient way.[/quote]
