This weekend my 7-year-old daughter and I went to Disney World with my boyfriend. There were certain rides that my daughter did not want to go on because she said she was afraid. I honored that and didn't make her go on them. After her third refusal, he became withdrawn and hardly said anything to me the rest of the day. Tonight, while talking to him on the phone, I brought it up that he seemed bothered by something. He said that he was upset about my daughter's refusal to go on certain rides, not believing that she was really afraid and that she was being a "drama queen." He said that he didn't say anything because he didn't feel it was his place, so he kept his mouth shut. He said that his parents would have said "enough of this shit, we're going home" if he would have acted that way. :eyesroll He also asked me if I ever tell her "no." Then he said that it all came to a "head" when he realized as we were leaving that a 5-year-old's parents didn't bring a stroller for her, pretty much insinuating that I shouldn't have brought one for my older daughter. I explained that I merely brought it since we tend to stay beyond when she'd normally be in bed, so that way she'd have a place to sleep. In one breath he's saying that it's not his place to criticize my parenting and acknowledged that I have 7 years of parenting experience, whereas he has none, but in another breath, complaining about the above things. We have talked about getting married and now I'm wondering how/if our different parenting styles will mesh with future children.http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/
