It's never easy to accept someone that's NOT originally part of your family's inner circle...

Even today, most adult sons & daughters find it hard to swallow and accept the reality that their single dad/mom is finding a replacement for their long lost mom or dad...

it's a given thing that we all have to move on in some point in our life.. but the harsh reality of letting our love ones accept other people into our life and eventually into their life as well.. is never an easy pill to take... It requires a fragile and very gradual moderation to ingest it eventually to their system..

In your case, you have to make that someone promise never to break your baby's daughter heart. There are madrastas and/or stepdads who are pretending to be so nice at the beginning and would pretend that they would also accept your daughter into their hearts.. only to discover later on that they were just pretending to love your daughter.. and worst of all, you later found out that she is already inflicting harm on your baby daughter...

when it comes to a situation that your daughter demands more love from you.. shower her more.. show your baby that nothing would ever change your love for her.. even if it means your bringing in another person to her life.. your daughter would still be and always be the number one sweetheart you would ever love.. (you must mean it when you tell it to your daughter)..

Lastly.. explain to her that if she love's her daddy that much.. she would love everything.. including the person that her daddy is bringing in to their house... Im sure like I've said.. as long as that someone would make it to a point to be always visible to your daughter's life everyday.. and your partner would also maternally shower your daughter the kind of maternal love that your daughter is looking for in a mom (someone who can replace the love she seeks out before from her original mom).. THEN im sure, as the month's would go by.. your daughter would eventually reciprocate to love your partner back...

all in due time lang..

a child would never get to understand things so complicated. but there's always a right time and place to talk about things

tell him that things don't always go the way we want it and we don't have control over things
