Alright, Iâm going to try to make this as short as I possibly can but itâs going to be hard! Back in December of 2011 I began dating my boyfriend who is in the Army. I have a 3 year old daughter and I didnât bring him around her until about April (about 5 months) and even then, the time they spent together was limited and very gradual. He really became a big part of her life in July when I had invited him on our vacation to Florida which is when things got more serious. Since then things have been AMAZING but a bit on the rocky side, which is normal when you have a kid and have decided to start a life with a man that is not the bio father. J (the bf) came from a pretty strict military family and has been in the Army since 2006 so he is just strict by nature where as I was an only child (biologically), to a single mother (who married when I was 8) and I pretty much got whatever I wanted; I had rules of course but for the most part I had a pretty relaxed childhood. Clearly because of our different backgrounds we both parent differently. My daughter has definitely been the ruler of the house since birth. She had rules but for the most part, she got her way on most things and didnât want for anything. Well now that we have moved in with J things have definitely changed and I just need some advice and also, is he too strict with her? He demanded her get on a stricter bed time routine, which was needed and I agreed with, but other things I feel are just too much. I feel like the only thing he does with her is get on her constantly. He doesnât want her to bring a lot of toys out in the living room and would prefer her play in her room; he puts her in time out for biting her nails when he has told her not to even though nail biting is a habit that can be something that isnât done intentionally; and of course those are the only 2 examples I can think of but there is much more because I feel like itâs a constant argument. I have tried my hardest to never correct him in front of her because I know that could make her lose respect and what not but sometimes itâs hard because I donât like my baby girl getting yelled at constantly. J also has never really been around kids so he doesnât get that she is only 3, sometimes I feel like he acts as though sheâs 10 or something. He also believes she needs to be more independent even though sheâs 3. He makes her do pretty much everything herself that he feels she can do. Maybe Iâm just being silly and over reacting. I just donât want my daughter to become emotionally damaged especially since her bio dad doesnât even seem to want to see her and hasnât for a couple months now. There are times though where she seems to really like J. She has actually slipped a couple times and called him dad by accident (this turns all 3 of us red faced) and she loves her new home, we used to live with my parents and when we go visit them, she actually tells me she wants to go back home, so sheâs been adjusting well but I still feel like J could be causing her a little emotional pain.
Thanks for your answers so far! I do want to add that we have not at all gotten upset at her calling him dad. When I say red faced I just meant taken by surprise and a little embarrassed. We have determined that there is nothing wrong with her calling him dad, it's whatever she's comfortable with. We both agree that we're not going to force her to call him dad but if she wants to we would never tell her not to because that could make her feel like he doesn't love her like a daughter. As fas as her own father, he goes back and forth with her. Sometimes he sees her on a regular basis and then other times he'll just fall off the face of the Earth for a while.
Answer
I know as a mother it is hard to let others discipline our little ones. Since it sounds like you have been on your own with her most of the time, sharing the discipline with someone else that is not her father can be challenging. He is trying to help her become a better young lady and one day a grown up. If you teach them when they are young it is very easy. My children were cleaning their room and leaning that toys get played with in the bedroom at that age, it saved my marriage and my feet lol (ever stepped on a toy in the middle of the night). I would say you should have a conversation with him to let him know how you are feeling. Make sure you are both showing her love and she will be great.

Whats A Brony??????????
Q. I heard people call people bronys on so many places (omegle.com, school, etc) and I really want to find out what it is so if you know please tell me. The person with the most and best answer wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer
Definition: A person who is outside of the targeted demographic who likes the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Here is a little history.
1980: Started out as a toy line called My Pretty Pony. Was eventually bought by Hasbro.
1981: Generation 1 of My Little Pony. Some films and took place in a fantasy setting. There was also a film where the setting was in a modern city. A standard girl's show at the time.
1990s: Generation 2 didn't have a dedicated TV series or films but only had a toy line (although some consider the TV series near the end of G1's time to be part of G2)
2003: Generation 3 starts. The absolute epitome of what is "girly" in a stereotypical definition. Everything was girly, plot was absolutely horrible, and was definitely meant for girls who were of a very young age. Art direction wasn't very good either.
2009: Hasbro decided to rehash the Generation 3 characters and had some design changes. This was called Generatioin 3.5. Just like Generation 3, this was the epitome of pain and misery.
Late 2009: Hasbro decided to create a new version called newborn cuties. Animation was an abomination, characters were an abomination, nonexistent plot, and would lower your IQ. If Generation 3.5 was considered pain and misery, then I don't know what to call this one.
(Generation 3, 3.5, and newborn cuties are all considered to be the worst of all My Little Pony incarnations).
THEN...........
Hasbro and Discovery Kids eventually formed a joint venture television channel called THE HUB. Hasbro wanted to capitalize on the franchises they've owned (such as Strawberry Shortcake, Transformers, and My Little Pony).
When developing the fourth generation of My Little Pony, Hasbro confronted Lauren Faust and asked her what she could do with the franchise. Lauren Faust is known for working on The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
They were able to get very respected people of the cartoon industry such as Daniel Ingram (music) and animators who have worked on Samurai Jack and a bunch of others. There are also very highly talented voice actors in the show such as Tara Strong and Tabitha St. Germaine. If anything, the 4th generation of My Little Pony has a very large production value.
On October 2010, Hasbro launched the pilot episodes of the 4th generation called "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." Many reviews praised the show saying that the show was actually very enjoyable to watch for the entire family. Of course, there were those such as the review by AMID that said seeing names such as Lauren Faust in the credits was a white flag of defeat. He says how disappointing it is to see such people in the credits because he says cartoons have become nothing more than marketing ploys to sell toys. This caught the attention of the cartoon board of 4chan. Most made image macros as a joke of MLP, but as some people watched a few episodes, some actually really liked it.
And so, from the depths of 4chan, Bronies (bro+pony) were born.
Here is some information regarding this fandom.
Equestria Daily, the main website for pony related news has over 240,000,000 views since its creation in January 2011.
Bronycon last summer had over 4000 attendees.
Everyday, there are meetups all around the world (listed in the nightly roundups of Equestria Daily).
Clinton was quizzed on MLP facts, Stephen Colbert had a shoutout to us, Conan O'Brien ponified himself and posted the picture on his twitter, Howard Stern talked about us (although in a bad way), a MLP shoutout is given in the Borderlands 2 ending credits, and Jetblue Airlines has even posted ponies on their twitter (and has created an original character with Bronies).
We have also been on Fox news, CBS, CNN, Yahoo news, local news outlets around the world, and in the official Top Gear Magazine!!!
There are over 300,000 images of MLP on DeviantArt alone.
John De Lancie, the voice actor of Discord and the actor for Q from Star Trek, is going to create an official documentary about bronies. They had a kickstarter campaign aiming for $60,000 but instead got $320,000 from the brony community.
Unlike other fandoms, Bronies are known for the content we produce such as music, art and fanfiction. FIMFICTION (pony fanfiction) has over 30,000 fanfiction. The longest pony fanfiction is over 608,000 words long (Harry Potter Deathly Hallows is 169,000 words long). Also, there is a fanfic called Past Sins that is going to be printed in physical hard cover copies (unfortunately the sign ups are over).
Also, if you want to have further information about the show and the community, I'd recommend you watch Saberspark's "Balld of the Brony" on youtube.
Hopefully you have a better understanding of Bronies and maybe you'll come to enjoy the show as well!
