If you and your husband disagree on this point so strongly, and it hurts you, then perhaps you should seek counseling to show him how serious you are about his behavior.  

But first you can try talking to him again in a less heated manner - when you aren't as upset.  Try to talk, not yell.  Maybe he just doesn't realize how he was being. If you can't work it out how to raise your daughter, it may drive a wedge between you which is where counseling can help.

Good luck!  Maybe someone else here has some other tactics regarding this.

When I met my husband, I already had five children from another marriage.  The husband I have now took everyone of them, even though he had never had one of his own.  There were alot of rocky spots, but one more child, and several years later, we are still one of the strongest families around.

It's bothering your daughter... it bothered me, and still to this day it annoys me that I didn't get an apology. I had to have at least a B- average in my honors classes, or I got berated regardless of my brother's grades and we were a lot closer in age then your kids. I hope you and your husband can work it out How you do it really depends on your relationship. Good luck

I agree with Pitcherday.  It probably is bothering her.  This actually reminds me of an episode of Supernanny I saw recently.  The husband came home and showed all kinds of love to his sons but didn't say a word to his teenage daughter except to ask her if she did her homework.

Supernanny convinced him to have a one-on-one with his daughter, as she usually does, and he learned how much his daughter really wanted his attention and love.
