Have you tried just asking him how he feels about it?

I think a lot of time people without kids, maybe men especially, don't really understand what kids are like or how parenting works. Before I had my son, I wasn't really a kid person. I didn't get them, didn't know how to deal with them, totally judged parents in Walmart, etc. I was a jerk lol. Like when my son was born and my best friend came to visit she was actually like "Whew, I'm glad you're adjusting, I was worried."

I would say have a serious talk with him about it. More than likely he just doesn't know a lot about kids or parenting, so he doesn't know how to deal with the tougher situations.

Well maybe u could show him a bit on how things are with raising ur daughter and that its completely okay to feel like he wants ti say something and he can talk to you about it, communication is key so talking with him when she acts out will help him and you if I'm making any sense   Lol

Yes, he says he cares for her, but gets frustrated with her and doesn't know what to do. I have suggested we take find a class to take to help figure it out and he is willing to go.

That sounds like a good start to me.

That's awesome he's willing to go... Just talk with him in the mean time and and if DD is having a bad day ask him what he would suggest so he can get used to the idea of helping with parenting esp if you guys ttc with ur own in the future

My mom got remarried when I was 15 to a 48 year old never been married, never had kids, and she had 6! It took him a while to get adjusted and he still has a hard time sometimes, but he eventually got the hang of it. They had another one 4 years ago so now there's 7! It'll take a while but I'm confident he will figure it out. The classes idea sounds good, and probably try to see if he has relatives or friends with children that he/you can get advice from.

This same thing happened to my husbands ex wife they have a 6 year old girl and his ex remarried to a older man with no kid experence and he seemed to do great until the other day she posted she left for 4 hours came back to video games on her DD crying from a bump on her head and to her having only ate jello for breakfast and theyve been together for 3 years I think and he still is having trouble adjusting I'm not saying it's a bad thing but I think some men just take longer to adjust to an instant family
