Also they just got tv in there, we just got dish last week and finally put one in there. They can be in living rm or where ever any time. They aren't banned from liv room. That's just where they were. We even offered 6 yr old to bring toys in liv rm w/ us he didn't want to. Since his sister wouldn't. It is not illegal for them to still be sharing a room where I live. They change in bathroom. My daughter doesn't wear a bra yet or have a period yet. Also I don't live in apartment complex. It isn't housing through the state. I live in a 2 bedroom duplex. I feel like his solution to anything the kids fight about is to have them lay down. I do try to discipline how I want but he will go over me. If he gets upset b/c of something they did it usually ends up him calling me names if I disagree w/ anything he says or w/e. He has been getting mad easy lately. He doesn't think I am hard enough on 8 yr old, like I favor her. I don't favor either one

Seems like you guys need to work out how to be on the same page with parenting.

You and your boyfriend are in serious need of joint counseling. Your parenting issues are unlikely to get much better as long as you and he are so very far apart, not only in parenting styles but in healthy respect for each other.

This is exactly what I thought. I wouldn't even consider your son telling you she didn't want to play to be tattling. Maybe he was just expressing his sadness that she didn't want to play.

No one should be required to play with each other or watch the same show at the same time, etc.

While I am sure that it seems exciting that he said that he would buy you an engagement ring, please read your sentence. "We have got along last night and today" not, "We are so much in love, we have not had a fight or disagreement for the last two years" or "We definitely agree on how to raise our children" or "He trusts me completely".

"We have got along last night and today." I hate to sound harsh, but for most people getting along for 18 hours is not considered a major accomplishment.

I have read some of your other threads. If my friend, sister or daughter was with a man that was so mean to them and controlling of them, as he is to you, I would suggest that at the bare minimum they go to couples counseling for at least six months or a year and that they certainly should not live together and especially should not get married until he stopped being verbally abusive of her.

He is "going to try harder" for you? Why hasn't he been trying for the last seven years since you became pregnant with his child?

Who can say "We haven't had a fight or disagreement in the past 2 years"? That is a) insane b) a lie if you said it c) not the makings of a healthy relationship anyways.

I suppose that it depends on what you mean by "fight" or "disagreement".
Has my SO accused me of cheating and meeting a lover when I took our six year old son to get his hair cut at the mall?
Has my SO called me a "lying, cheating c***" and many other abusive phrases?
Does my SO refuse to allow me to see female friends?
Does my SO regularly accuse me of sleeping with other men?

NOT doing/saying things like that are what I mean by not "having a fight or disagreement" not things like "I wanted chicken for dinner and you made meatloaf" or "You left the cap off the toothpaste" as a fight or disagreement.

And, yes I believe that most, loving couples can go for two years without their SO/spouse accusing them of cheating or calling them a "stupid, b****" or a "s***" or being verbally abusive and controlling (having fights & disagreements). I am truly sorry, HFB, if that is the way your husband treats you and think that is typical behavior of a loving couple.

Sheesh! HFB, have you even read the threads the OP started about this man?

Give me a break...just give me a break. Now you are saying my husband treats me that way because you were originally over dramatic in your posting. Nope, no way. That was a time for "Oh well I didn't phrase that well, what I meant was xyz". Seriously, why is it so hard for people to do that? Instead attack my husband? What? Cant be serious.
