Your husband needs to take your feelings into consideration. I would feel uncomfortable bumping into my husbands ex when I left my condo. She doesn't have to be in the same condo or town. What about one town over. That should be close enough to visit his daughter on a regular basis without you having to bump into his ex every time you turn around.

When she has homework her mother can't help her with she comes over. Or better yet what about a tutor. I can't help my 14 year old with his math. If he gets confused he looks up how to do it online. That's just a lame excuse. You should really get him into counseling before he does this and it's to late.

He is way way out of bounds. This is wrong. You are not sick.

I'm not american, but from what i know, no, this isn't the "american way". Is this single mom alone, not in a relationship? If that is so, even worse. Disaster waiting to happen. I understand the daughter thing, but she is 13 so she can come and visit and doesn't need to actually live in the same building.

Yes, this is the daughter thing. My husband says his daughter loves our building and he thinks the 24 hours security is very good for them. If the daughter told him she loved the moon, he probably would catch it for her.

This made me gag.I dealt with the princess daughter worship for WAAAAAY too many years.
Only way i got through it was joining a step parenting board.

It is not an american way. I am alittle confused whose asian and american? I know there are alot of culture differences so I am trying to get clarification. Just the fact that he didn't try to understand it hurt your feelings sends a huge RED flag.

Perhaps the "Little Princess" wants her mommy and daddy back together. What then?

Yep I agree....Who knows she is old enough to try to make that happen especially with the moving into the building.

My 7 year old broke down and was saying he wanted me and my ex back together (I told him he was to younger to remember how bad mommy and daddy were together) His dad just remarried and my son doesnt care for her at all.....

oh boy!

I dont think so.
It would be nice for him to see his daughter whenever he wants but he should have more respect for you and himself than to try and help her move in the same building.

more like he is sick

whole can of worms about the kid not liking the new wife/new husband.

I bent over backward to be good to my ex's child.she hated me.

some stepparents are rotten and deserve to be disliked.others try their best and still get hated.

This problem may solve itself.

Maybe the condo association will reject her application or something like it. I wouldn't want to live anywhere near my ex's family and I have children with him... talk about sick. That lady needs her head examined for even wanting to move that close.

It would be better if the child moved in with you than what your husband wants to do OP. It's disrespecting you and your space 100%.
