[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And it’s extremely annoying. I am a parent of two daughters myself so I understand the temptation very well. HOWEVER he and his ex wife have created an intolerable spoiled brat who runs screaming at the first iota of discomfort. I won’t detail the ridiculous stuff he’s done (unless anyone wants to hear it!). However it makes me feel really REALLY annoyed with him. I never comment because he doesn’t ask me what I think about his parenting except if he needs gift suggestions etc for her. Fine. He feels free to openly comment on my kids/parenting however, which is distasteful. I know it’s not wrong to help your kid but he is hobbling her by immediately showing up at the slightest complaint. Which ultimately doesn’t matter since she won’t ever have to solve any actual problems. Daddy will come to the rescue. I was not raised like this and neither were most people I know.

Is this a vent? I don’t know. I’d like to have a consistently good relationship with him and ignore the spoiled bratty (and she truly is!) daughter part but it constantly affects our relationship in small and large ways. Anyone else?

You shouldn’t dictate each other how to parent one’s kids. This is a deal breaker. Different parenting styles have different pros and cons but there is no perfect way to parent. Just because you or your kids didn’t have someone they can always count on, it doesn’t have to be that way for other kids whose parents can be there. It’s not your decision to make. You can decide to accept it with grace or find someone who doesn’t have kids or doesn’t see them as a priority. Life is short, trying to control others is a waste of time.[/quote]
