Kiddo is 5, her bio father hasn’t seen her in 4 years, he’s signed over full custody to me. In her eyes, she doesn’t have a dad.My fiancé (35M) and I (32F) moved in together back in June. Daughter has known him for a year. Before the move in, she was obsessed with him. Over the summer, he took her to our apartment’s pool and playground almost every day. Pretty much besties.In September she started kindergarten and he started a new job, and now it seems like every night is some kind of argument with him. She yells at him for no reason, says she doesn’t like him, says she’s happy when he works evening shift so he’s not here when she gets home from school. But on weekends... it’s back to playing. She doesn’t understand that you can’t use people when you want them to do something with you and then treat them like garbage.I know, she’s 5, this is all new stuff for her and she’s afraid of losing her mama. But sometimes I can tell he feels hurt, too, when she goes from playfully calling him Daddy to screaming at him to get out her room. He’s doing an amazing job and he tries not to take it to heart but I can imagine how hurtful it is.Help? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Kl9PFG
