Should a toddler have a bedtime?

What a total shame on the way your step daughter is being raised. Everything you stated just went from bad to worse! I've said so many times there are so many folks who want children so badly but that are unable to have them. Then there are those who do have children & don't raise them correctly. What a total shame tho what she's doing to your husband & making him jump thru hoop after hoop just to be able to see her & spend time w/her. He should NOT have to go to their place to be able to see her. He should have his OWN TIME when he TAKES HER & is able to do things w/her on his own. She is NOT being fair whatsoever in regards to the way she's treating him. It's like she's spiting him for some reason when he does NOT deserve it. And to keep a child up to 1 a.m. it totally irresponsible. She IS HIS DAUGHTER, & she SHOULD call him her daddy. He IS & ALWAYS WILL BE her father. I'm sure when she's older she w/call him what SHE WANTS & NOT what the mother "dictates" for her to have to do to please only herself & NO ONE else. I don't know IF Family court in your county could be of help to you, but it's sure worth a try. I don't know either IF social services could steer you in the rite direction where you could get the help you need so badly to get things straightened out. It's a total sin what she's doing against him & just to be able to see his own child. There just has to be something you could do about it, somewhere you can turn to w/o it costing you the funds you do not have. It's sure worth a try at those two places tho to see if you can just get the help you so badly need to correct this situation. She is way over stepping her boundaries & what ashame a father cannot take his own daughter w/him to HIS HOME to be able to visit w/her & not have the mother around watching every move you make or dictating what should or should not be done. This all is so totally unfair. I trust in some way you CAN rectify this situation & I wish you ALL the BEST...:)
