[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really pisses me off how some of you told OP "he's not molesting her."  How the F do you know that???????  You need to be cautious with this, but you need to stay on it.  If a child is complaining that ANYONE is dressing her "too roughly" and they were asked to stop and haven't, [b]this is a red flag.[/b][/quote]

No, it doesn't sound like a red flag.  Sounds like a whiney kid who is playing her mom and dad off each other in a crappy dual-household situation.  The mom is further instigating it by whatever passive comments she is making to her daughter about the situation.

I would guess that the occasional times I have to help my 6 and 8 year olds get dressed (maybe once a week) they might be able to characterize it as "rough".  Big italian family here with a lot of noise, and when they are so slow and we are so rushed that I have to start putting underwear on my kid for him, yes, it's not a sweet sappy fun experience.

OP should use the chance to parent her kid and say "if you could stop dawdling then dad wouldn't have to help you -- her lets practice getting dressed really fast".  And also encourage her daughter to take more responsibility overall and quit pushing her dads buttons by not getting ready quickly in the morning.
