My boyfriend has an 8yr old daughter who is a pain at night. She gets up for no reason (a"nightmare") to ask him stupid questions. She constantly asks for him to come sleep with her. She bangs on his door at 6:30 to wake him even on weekends. Normal?

she sounds like a pretty insecure 8 yr old to me. perhaps she senses you thinks shes a "pain"

this question is disturbing. I think you need to take the high road and get out of the relationship with him because you obviously aren't a supporter of his child and that should be his number one focus. I would imagine he can sense how you feel if you dont already tell him...pretty soon the little 8 year old will sense this too and that isn't fair. And to answer your question, YES it's normal...she's 8

It is normal...normal for a kid to push & push & push, and get away with everything they can. That is just what she is doing. She will do, whatever HE lets her get away with. He needs to step up and set some rules, and then enforce them. Don't be surprised, however, if he has suddenly "doesn't see a problem" with these things, or decides that, "you just don't like his kid", or, "you need to be more mature". Many men, especially those who are non-custodial, do not like to spend the 4 days a month they have with their kids, disciplining them, which is often a problem for the gf in his life. Good luck.

It is normal. If you can't deal with children and you can't deal with the questions children ask, you should not be in this relationship. I have no respect for an attitude like that. Children ask questions. If you want to stay in this relationship, get used to it. Personally, I think you are the "pain" in the relationship you're in. Do you have any respect for his child? At least he cares about her.

You sound really selfish to me. Nightmares are scary enough for adults, but for a small child they can be terrifying. It is not an unvalid reason. And children ask questions, it's how they learn. If you can't handle this, then you shouldn't be in this relationship. She sounds like a normal 8 year old to me.
