i have already tried sitting him down and talking to him about this. we disagree on things like who should dress her for school and who should brush her teeth. he's a bit nuts, actually, when it comes to that. any advice would be appreciated.

Well by 7 years old, she needs to be brushing her own teeth(maybe with supervision if she isn't too good at it)and getting herself dressed! The more independent she can be, the better off your lives will be! As far as the you say no and he says yes, you'd better fix it like NOW, as kids can figure all that out really well and play on it. It is their job to keep wanting to split you up, to see what you will let her get away with. So you need to be united as parents and that doesn't always mean you are going to agree with each other and parenting skills. That means there is major communication(not in front of her)and major compromising that needs to be done! Set the ground rules, and stick by them! When your daughter gets mixed messages, it is not healthy for her or you as a couple!!! If you can't talk to one another, then have somebody help you,a Pastor, Priest, counselor, and go to therapy to help you see what is going on. Changes need to be made and PRONTO!!!! Good luck!

Boy do I know this, there has to be away to get him to see your point. Keep sitting him down, and talk to him. You need to be on the same page, with your daughter. She is 7 and its time to let her dress herself for school, and brush her teeth. I have gone through a simalur situation, and my daughter is a teen. It is very hard now.
Please just keep talking to your husband, and talk to your friends or family. Because when she does become a teen, there will be trouble. Communitcation is very important, and it has to stay open to your husband and your daughter. good luck.

At 7, she needs to be brushing her own teeth and getting herself dressed.
And the two of you need to write down a list of rules and consequences that you will follow so you will be united as parents. If you do not get united now, she will play you like a fiddle when she hits her teen years.

first impression is you think your decisions are right and his wrong
it is wrong for you not to be in unison
interesting to know if you are too strict?
tell him Dr Phil says he will make her into an unhappy child if he splits parents control.
you can back off a bit till he gets into trouble with it
or get an impartial friend to look at why its happening

Use psychology on him. If you want to tell your daughter no, say yes, so he'll say no and visa verse. Then agree with him and make him think he was right.

tell him to start backing you up or when your daughter gets to be a teenager and when she wants to have sex you will tell her "well I say no but you know your father he always says yes so I guess its ok"
