@sam77 You’re getting downvoted because what you are describing is controlling behavior that suggests he’s trying to isolate you from your mom - abuse red flag - and you are cheerily not seeing it. But of course you’re not, because he’s gaslighting you about everything.

@prexioc How long is her nap? The obvious answer is prevent her from being overtired, but that isn’t necessarily easy. I would start by having a conversation with her at a different point of the day to ask her if there’s anything that would help her go to bed easier. See what she says without...

@babo2013 It sounds like he was at place emotionally where it was more of a meltdown than a tantrum. A 3 year old is still at an age where they need coregulation, and can’t fully self regulate. He tried to go for his needs (food now), and you wanted the logic approach (lunch in a bit). He...
