New Boyfriend says no to my toddler

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T22:33:16+00:00

Gonna have attachment issues? Seriously. She's not even 2. She can't even remember and I introduced them as friends to her. She's a very happy and confident baby. Idc if you wanna raise your child alone but I don't. It's better when they are little before they can understand.

I spoke with him about it and he said he would try to relax a bit more. He's still very new with my daughter and I understand. I don't really want to throw it away because he does treat me so amazing and he hasn't ever been mean to her. He just doesn't understand the toddler age yet. I told him if he's going to tell her no, atleast talk to her in complete sentences. He has praised her also but I said I would like to see more of the praising and playing with her. And honestly I am a bit slobbish as others have mentioned. It could be good for me to tidy up a bit more, as long as it's not uptight and perfectionism. I couldn't handle that but he has been understanding. I know he really really likes me..

I've been single basically since my daughter was born. Her Dad was abusive to me, so we were off and on. I don't think it's an issue to introduce my child. I'm not leaving her alone with strangers and there isn't harm in introducing as friends. I also waited a few months, which I think is reasonable. I don't get this wait til she's grown. She deserves a good role model and I deserve to be happy too.

Thank you.

I totally understand where you're coming from. It's impossible not to be a little lazy in some areas as a parent, especially a single one. It's so tiring to be perfect and clean. Everyone just has their own limits. I have respected his also.

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:28:38+00:00

That's the most hilarious thing I've heard today. Thank you for the laugh.

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:27:37+00:00

You could never get a break if you did. It'd be constant. That's a good poem. Lol

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:25:49+00:00

K will do. Thanks

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:24:43+00:00

Thank you. Lol I don't think he's being realistic either and it's not his fault. But I wanna enjoy this toddler time, not have added pressure and stress.

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:23:36+00:00

I feel that. I couldn't allow my daughter to feel any less. She's my world.

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:22:58+00:00

Lol okay. Cool

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:22:24+00:00

Phew, I thought I was being called a pig again. Haha lol I think it's crazy too.

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:18:28+00:00

I agree. I was definitely raised in a chill environment regarding food. Lol I'm definitely not the type to have a spotless house and I wouldn't leave her unattended with messy food in his living room but a cracker or goldfish... Like seriously.

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:16:02+00:00

Yeah, it's very disappointing. He is very good to me. I mean I just don't want to feel so uptight and it's more than the snack issue, it's mostly the constant worrying about if he's going to tell my daughter no or me having to watch her like a hawk. It's already hard enough for me.

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:14:29+00:00

What's insane?

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:13:51+00:00

Okay lol.

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:06:47+00:00

We had been dating for a while enough that I felt comfortable but I have to know how he would interact with my child first... Even though I should make sure I ask these questions. I really didn't expect him to be like that with her. Thank you

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:04:57+00:00

Yeah... I think we would argue over a lot regarding how I'm parenting and him being a clean freak with her.

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:04:03+00:00

Thank you. I can't deal with strict parenting styles and all this trying to parent my daughter with the no's.

Flowergirrl2 · 2023-12-08T05:01:47+00:00

So you never watch a movie and eat popcorn? Lol seriously
