My husband and I are expecting our first child (hooray) however he does have a 5 yr old daughter from a previous relationship. The mother is evil, if you have read these message boards before she pretty much fits the evil ex to a T. From the start she told him the child wasn't his and things like that so he would be out of the girls life. It has been about 2 yrs and he has finally started seeing his daughter on a regular basis, once a week and on the weekends. However, the problem is that when his daughter comes over to our house we actually parent her. She doesn't sleep by herself anywhere else but our house. We tell her no when warranted and don't let her run our lives. But it is the opposite everywhere else she is, her mom's house, grandparents. It has come down to the fact that if my husband is going to pick her up, he has to promise her presents or small trips to get her to come over and even then she still cries and says she doesnt want to. Basically he is giving up. It breaks my heart to see him get so hurt by her acting like this. If she wasn't babied every where else it wouldn't be a problem and once she is at our house she is fine. How do I get him to want to continue to have her visit and how do i get her to want to come over without having to promise her toys and what not??? ↓
