I’m a mother that’s been trying dating again. Started a relationship with this guy I knew since high school 3 months ago & he has a problem with how I parent my daughter & says he wants to help but I’m not taking his “advice” & my behavior is “regressive” & that I could really learn a thing or two from him when it comes to raising kids. My daughter can be difficult she’s 3 & had a rough life including her real dad walking out on her. He says I’m basically letting that be her crutch for how she acts. SHES 3! He tries to be a drill Sargent & I’m just not having it so we had a disagreement now he’s not even spoken to me since Thursday. He’s been basically ignoring me since then & says he’s “just tired” but keeps posting really passive aggressive stuff on social media like “when someone isn’t for you & you have to accept it” the kicker we’re suppose to be in our 30s. My daughter loves him but idk wtf is going on. He won’t talk he just lays there in my room when he comes over not saying anything. I’m just really frustrated & tired of the petty bs.

Edit: since it’s not very clear but felt like it’s obvious my child has rules. It boils down to me not being more strict & it’s not like I just introduced him to her we’ve been friends for a while & we decided to try a relationship. Stop the stupid assumptions not every woman allows random men in their kids lives.
