I don't know if anyone else feels like this, but I don't have children, and my partner has a daughter whom he adores and misses and wishes she lived with us. She has been brought up very differently to the way I would bring up my kids and as such behaves in ways I find impossible to ignore, even though my partner feels she is perfection, and in my opinion behaves more like a friend or a big-brother than a dad when she is with us, playing and looking after but not really parenting. I try to work on manners, habits and skills, but end up feeling like the wicked witch of the west.
