OKAY So lately my boyfriend and i have been talking about getting married, but it seems like were arguing alot about stupid stuff , mailny our kids (we each have one with others). But it seems like we fight about my daughter alot because she is older than his and he expects more of her. And he is always thinking mainly of his doughter and forgets that he should have two we have been together for over a year and if we are going to get married i think he should start treating my daughter like he does his. Is this to much to ask?

Welcome to the board hottipattati,


Some people can't treat all kids equally and expectations can be higher for one over the other.

Welcome to the board hottipattati,


No it is not too much to ask that he treat your daughter better. Perhaps you could take a parenting class together.

Mine is almost 7 and his just turned 4. We do not live together. I have my daughter full time and he has his almost every weekend. Expecations are that my daughter always has to resond the first time to everything or she has to sit in time out or she gets somthing taken away and if his doesn't respond by the 5th try he gives up with no reprocutions, I want them to listen well too, but you have to do it fairly within reason no kid responds the first time to everything. He always excpects mine to clean up even if she had nothing to do with the mess, and i disagree with that because she the inly one that ever cleans up and I can't get my BF to see this. He always finds time to spend time with his even in
