Re: 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DOES NOT RESPECT MY PARTNER

I think you need to first ask her why she does this and see if there is a genuine problem, and if not put your foot down and insist on her showing him respect (but make it clear thats not the same as liking him) and showing herself some respect by behaving decently towards him. Have you let your partner know its ok to tell her off? Sometimes new partners feel they need to tip toe round our children or risk upsetting us and he seems to have tried the extremes of ignoring and then losing his temper which would imply he doesn't think he's in a position to deal with it as a parent.
