Hi all. I am wondering if anyone can give me advice on how to handle when your ex goes Disney? Dd is 4 and spends eow with her father plus 2 nights a week. Her father is well meaning and loves her to bits but totally spineless. She has no regular bedtime there, eats what she wants, is allowed all the tv and tablet she asks for, and is never reprimanded only rewarded for good behaviour with toys and treats This is affecting her health as she is constantly tired and has had a runny nose since July that just won't go away. Even her being for 3 blood tests in a row because her blood count is off has not smartone him up. She comes home after being at his and all her table manners are forgotten and she back chats and throws terrible tantrums when she can't have her own way. DP and I are both very child focused and loving but strict with DD and DSD who is five and visits eow and a couple afternoons a week. Our girls are everything tp us and they are best friends. I know DD is happy here but every time she returns from her DFs she is kind of a nightmare... Can anyone suggest a book or course on discipline that I could suggest her DF and I both follow so that she is getting a consistent and age appropriate upbringing? Thank you so much for reading!
