 this is a hard situation for any single mother tring to get a boyfriend.what i would do is to not let your eldest child to ruin your life. one day she will grow up and move on and if she keeps doing this to you, you will end up being alone. sit her down and explain that he makes you happy, and that one day she will move on and that you will not take her ruining that for you. tell her that he is not her new dad, he is just the man you want in your life.i know it could be hard telling this to her, but if you dont, how long are you going to let this go on for?and also make her applogise to him, and try and get the relationship back on his feet,its all up to you,good luck!!

It is always a difficult situation when mum finds a new boyfriend. Your child has already lost a parent at home and does not want to lose or share you. Explain to your child if they are old enough to understand, that mums need friends too, this man is not a 'new dad' and you do not love them any less. Spend time with your child to reassure them, and show them that no matter who is in your life they are your number one priority.

You haven't stated the child's age but it could all to be with jealousy and your child doesn't like someone else sharing your time and attention. If this man really loves you then he shouldn't just give up on you. It could be that your child is just testing to see how far he/she can go and if they realize this man is not going to just give up they may well calm down a bit. It could be all down to how secure the child feels.

what age is your eldest child, the teenage years can be hard and having a new man in your mums life could be making normal teenage rebellion worse. If your child is younger you have to curb this bad behaviour now in whichever way you see fit as a parent.
