I am dating this man who has a three-year old. She is almost four. Her mother and my boyfriend have been divorced for three years. He has been taking care of his daughter by himself for two years now since she was one. The mother and my boyfriend have joint custody with one week to her and one week to him. Seems he has her every weekend though. She cries when she goes back to her mother but runs to her father. Anyways, he doesn't spank her because the mother will take him to court. The little girl eats 10 popscicles and two ice cream cones a day. This is not how I would raise my child. She is adorable but bites and kicks other kids to the point they don't want to play with her. She will stay up all night and watch television and not let her father sleep. She bites the dog and kitten till they whimper. I really am falling for this guy but I am worried this little girl has something wrong with her and will hurt my children if I marry this man. What should I do?

Have you talked about all of this stuff with your man friend?It sounds like this little girl could be having some serious problems. You could be in for a lot of problems with your children if you marry this man.This child is out of control & she is calling the shots. She needs structure in her life she is still young enough to turn things around. The Dad needs to be the boss. You can't have a different set of rules for you kids his kids and the kids the two of you may have together one of these days.This child simply cannot be staying up late and the Dad staying up until she is ready to go to bed! This is ridiculous!Dad must put his foot down! Now before it is to late. She has to eat well ballanced meals and not just popsciles & ice cream! The little girl doesn't know any better but her parents do! For crying out loud that man need to get a back bone! He has to be the parent and not let the child rule him!If this is alowed to contunue it will get much harder on the family. I am sure that there will be problems with the children as well.Your children will want to get away with what his little girl gets away with .

regardless of the age it somewhat is going to be the start determine, who's the guy dealing with discipline concerns. No step-determine interior the international can walk in and take exchange of little ones there are no longer theirs. Your companion has to dictate and enforce the regulations of the domicile. or you would be shorthanded each and all of the time. you could not mom like if she grew to become into your individual. it somewhat is not significant no count number in case you're 23 or 50.

This is way out of my league. You need to get a professional in here and help sort this terrible situation out. EVERYONE needs to be involved. If the ex-wife won't agree this needs to be documented for the court. Actually, everything you just said should be documented in some way so the little girl gets the help she needs.
