I understand your emotions, Diogenes, but I think there's a better way: you're a very intelligent individual - use your brain to kick his ass.

Just my .666 worth.

Right about it and call your sponsor...

My ex husbands new wife tried that on me in person... I told my ex to put a muzzle on his b*tch or I'd knock her off her stool.

I agree that you should have confronted him face to face....but, never put a hand (or any part of it) on him unless you are defending yourself...your ex wife and her boyfriend could have been trying to get a reaction out of you...if you hurt him...even though you would feel better and he deserves it...you could end up in jail and your ex could go into court and get your visitation reduced or worse...supervised or revoked....

I would talk to her about it after you calm down....

Best of luck to you...

I understand it's frustrating and very emotional when someone interferes like that but adults need to set the example for the children involved. It's just not worth it to get tossed in the slammer.

I'm always reminded that it's the REACTION not the action that gets someone in trouble. It sucks but that's just the way it is. It's not fair. Her boyfriend sounds antagonistic and it doesn't really sound like she's holding him back and letting him know his place in your daughter's life either.

The more reaction they get out of you, the less room you'll have if it gets really ugly later on. They're just trying to get a rise out of you.

I'd have to thump him once or twice anyway.

Everyone has the right to be angry,but no one has the right to stay angry.

Name it.......
Claim it.........
Dump it.........

Good Luck.

Does this matter so much? she can't change her blood anyway

Does it realy actually matter? No, it doesn't; she is only four. She doesn't fully understand the significance of family names, and how and when they change in our culture. Her name isn't actually going to change anyway, even if her mother does marry this guy.

Does it feel like it matters? Yes, from the emotional perspective of a jealous father it matters. When she identified herself with his last name, I understood logically that she didn't know or understand what she was talking about. However, my first emotion was jealous anger. I wasn't angry at her...I don't think I was really truely even angry at the other guy. I was probably angry that the situation even existed.

I'm her Dad. Ideally, there shouldn't even be somone else to get names confused with for a young girl. Nonetheless, this is the reality of world that she lives in. That is so much more my fault, than my daughter's or the other guy's if I'm being totally honest with myself.

I can see you love her so much from your jealous emotion.
I am sure she will know it when she is getting older.

Keep your love to her, it's the thing nobody will change/grab from you.

p.s. Very few children follow mum's name in the world, but they all know nothing can beyond the love from her...

Why is this in Food, Recipes etc forum?

Sounds logical to me.
