Last night, my 9 year old daughter got mouthy when I told her it was time for bed, and I told her that if she continued to be disrespectful, she would be grounded. She did continue, and my fiance jumped in and yelled at her that she was grounded, and then she kept it up and he yelled that she was grouned for two days. I felt like he "stepped on my toes" by intervening in my disciplining my daughter. I definitely want him to be on the same page with me when it comes to disciplining her, but lately he's been telling me how to discipline her and becoming really controlling almost. One other side note to mention is that my daughter and I just moved in with him 3 weeks ago. He was not like this before we moved in. I'm feeling smothered and undermined. Also, he constantly brings up how "good" his daughter is. It's really getting under my skin. I guess my question here is should my fiance be able to discipline my daughter with me there? He is not her father nor her stepfather. Help, please!!
