I wouldn't say he's affectionate, he may be a good dad but he can be very controlling when it comes to the baby, and it's not just me that's noticed it. It's when they're alone that worries me, they had an argument the other day because she asked him for some money, which he rarely gives, but at Christmas she lent him £600 of her savings for a deposit on a house for him to retrain as a railway worker and the job never happened, only on Wednesday he really laid it on thick at how guilty she made him feel, I wasn't there, my DH said it was like Geoff off coronation Street. I think the problem is what I'm noticing about my daughters behaviour, he says shes got more confident but I'd say she's lost it, she doesn't talk as much as she used to, she was a real chatterbox she could talk all day even if there was nothing to talk about! She's always apologising to him, he never seems to apologise back, they are arguing alot, not every day but they argue one day then fine the next. We do all the cooking he plays on his games all afternoon, they don't get up til 11-12. I'm too scared to open my mouth in case he takes offence and uses it against me.
