OK, here's the story. We were married, he wanted a daughter. He got her and she is beautiful, well-behaved and smart. Apparently he was not mature enough to be a good father/husband so I have been rasing her since she was 8 months old on my own. He then got transferred to another state, which is not far, but still is another state (he is a Marine). He hadn't seen her for over a year. She is 3 now. Finally came to see her last month. I went out of my way to HELP him be a good dad to her and bond with her while he was here (which was ONLY for 2 days BTW). I let him stay at our house, use my car to take her places (ie: zoo, movies, park, etc. places where they could bond for a small price), eat my food, etc. He didn't do sh*T with her the whole time. He sat on my couch and watched football and movies.
So I decided that he is worthless as a person and a father, but she still wants to talk to him which I completely support if that's what she wants. She has called him several times within the last 2 weeks. He's only spoken to her ONCE since he left. She cries for him at night and it breaks my heart. I do not want to bad-mouth him to her, but what can I say? I tell her he's "at work".
So he texted me that he is getting deployed for 8 months on Sunday. I've called him several times, texted him, etc. and he refuses to respond. I've begged him to simply, "Please talk to your daughter before you go and tell her how you feel about her." His dead-beat @$$ cannot even call her?!?!?! WTF? What if she NEVER hears from him again? How am I going to deal with her crying for him all the time because he has not talked to her and told her, "Daddy loves you but I won't be able to talk to you for a very long time" ? Obviously I can't make him be a good dad, but I need help in knowing what the right thing to do is in this situation.
Thank you!
No, I don't have a father around, no brothers, no other "male role models" for her other than one male friend I have (and he's not around kids much so doesn't know how to act around her all the time). I have a Grandad (her Great grandad) but he lives 3 hours away and is old and grumpy.
@Michael! LMAO - so you think that because he signed up to be a Marine and get paid for it, he's a great person? Don't great people take care of their responsibilities? I respect a good man who is good to his family AND can 'serve his country'. I am not even going to entertain the thought of what you said anymore. You;re a joke.
Oh, and people like him Do make America what it is: A place with innocent children who are abandoned and feel unloved. Yeah, great guy there.
The plot idea is relatively simple. Something BIG happens in your life, something that is life changing. In the story, it's a car accident. The guy is driving a big rig slams into a car killing just about everyone on board.
As everything is happening. You hear a voice in your head telling you
you can go back in time. The choices are clear:you can face what's going on or you can go back and have a second chance.
The thing is if you choose to go back in time, your memory of the incident will be erased, therefore you have a 50/50 chance that all you'll do is repeat the events.
Either way you decide to go, the memory of the "voice" will be cleared, but if you time travel you'll experience what we call deja vu.
here's the intro to the story. if you want to skim trough it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The headlights of the car were still specks out in the distance but even then I could tell something was wrong. I should of made a different choice. Both times I could of made a different choice.
The calendar with the big breasted pin up model said it was October the 16th. My massive headache told me it was Sunday and the speed sign I roared by informed me that I was going 13 over the limit. It was a fresh, cool night. The wind had been steadily picking up speed and the clouds had left but only slivers of moonlight.
It was the type of night that the devil is made for. When everything volatile and unstable comes together. When the freaks come out and you can bet pennies to the dollar that even a smile can spark a fire.
My cell phone ranged. It was probably Susan. I hated the goddamned things. These cell phones. My fingers are too big for the minuscule preschool buttons and I cana��t seem to hold on to one of them for more than 2 weeks at a time.
I flipped the phone open. a��
..silence for a second, then her voice came on. a�?Hello?a�?
a�?What?a�? I replied.
a�?Daddy, your supposed to say hello when you answer a call.a�?
a�?Hello. What do you need?a�? I asked in my most eloquent voice.
a�?Nothing. I just wanted to see where you were at.a�?
a�?Ia��m 30 minutes from shithouse nowherea�?
DADDY!? She exclaimed.
That made me laugh.
Susan always put me in a good mood. She wasna��t my biological daughter but I loved her so.
I had been after her mother ever since I laid my eyes on her in high school. I did everything a fool will think of doing and she did everything you can think of doing to a fool. One day she finally accepts my invitation. Nothing serious. Just to the movies. After that, we kept going out for about a month. Then one night she just starts crying. She tells me how Joey, this star college quarterback or wide receiver or captain cheerleader, or whatever this scum was, takes her out, gets in her panties and then just leaves her. Just like that. She crying and Ia��m holding her. Real close to me, making sure she knows that I wona��t let no scum ever touch her againa�� then she drops it on me.
She hasna��t had her period. That this lowlife punk, who has no right in calling himself a man got her pregnant.
Not since the day when my brothers and I laid my Fathersa�� casket into the ground, had I shed a single tear. But hearing that, right then and there. Boy, I tell you. Ita��s a miracle I didna��t run out of my truck and ran raving into the hills. I never let go though, as a matter of fact I held her tighter.
That night, outside her parenta��s trailer home I looked at her straight in the eyes and I said: a�?Look here, Marilyn. That baby inside you might of not come from me, But if you give me the opportunity I promise that Ia��ll love it and cherish it as much as I love you.a�?
She didna��t say nothing. She simply stared at me for what felt like an eternity. Then she stepped towards me, gave me a single kiss on what I know must have been sandpaper dry lips. And walked inside. I stood there, expecting...well...I dona��t know what in Goda��s name I was expecting but I stood there. I think that night, lying in my bed, was the longest night of my life.
a�?Moms angry again.a�? she said matter of factly
a�?Your moma��s always mada��I think shea��s crazya�? I whispered that last part.
a�?She says that you dona��t call.a�? she continued
a�?She always says I dona��t call.a�?
a�?She says that that your never homea�?
"Well she always says that too."
a�?Daddy, your always out.a�? I was beginning to get aggravated.
a�?Suzy, honey Ia��m a truck drivveeer, ita��s my job. Ita�?s what I do.a�? Yep. I could definitely feel my headache getting worse.
a�?And by the way what are you doing up so late?a�? I asked, hoping to change the subject.
a�?Ia�?m not sleepy. And they always say that your better off getting up and doing something than trying to force yourself to go to sleep.a�?
a�?Why whata��s wrong?a�? I asked, concerned.
a�?Nothing. I guess I just had too much juice still flowing trough my system.a�?
a�?Juice? What do you mean juice? What were you doing?a�? I nearly dropped the phone.
She laughed. That
wonderful laugh of hers.
She took a deep sigh. As if she had released something. Hearing that made me feel good.
a�?Anyway, you should call mom.a�? She said after a moment
a�?I will. Tomorrow.a�?
There was a silence.
a�?I think shea��s drinking again.a�? She said quietly.
And there it was. The headache was back with a vengeance.
I closed my eyes. I saw white spots.
a�?Shea��s usually locked away in her room. When she comes out, ita��s usually to refill her cups with ice.a�? as she said that I suddenly remembered I was behind the wheel of a big rig and immediately opened my eyes.
The white spots continued momentarily.
a�?Go to sleep honey.a�? I said, hoping to sound more in control that I actually was. a�?I promise Ia��ll be home soon. Ia��ll take care of everything.a�?
a�?Ok. Good night daddy.a�? she seemed reassured. I think I pulled it off.
a�?Good night honey.a�?
Flipping the phone closed, I stepped on the gas. As the gauge needle slowly rose, I could see that the specks of light from the oncoming car where closer. They
They were closer and they were swerving.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Ranged?" ha ha sorry about that and the grammatical errors.
I just finished another portion of it. I'll try to email it to you when it's complete.
The incident doesn't have to be necessarily negative. It just has to be life changing. Actually the idea was inspired by a minor accident I had when I was a forklift driver. I began to imagine what If it had been much worse and I got fired. Or what if I had another chance to replay the event?Would I proceed and find a better job or stay at a safe meaningless job.
How was your day today?
I'm just curious! My day was awesome! This morning I woke up to my daughter's (almost 5) smiling face. She and her daddy had made me breakfast in bed for no reason!! It was so cute. They made pancakes in the shape of hearts and made silly faces on them with blueberries.
Then we all packed up in the car to go to the local park & we played on the playground & had a picnic! We got home & everyone was filthy so they took baths & I made home made chilli & now they are having movie night with daddy!
It's so precious...I don't know what I'm going to do when they are all grown up!
So anyways, tell me about your day!
I am the divorced father of a wonderful 6 year old girl. Legally, I share joint custody but she spends the majority of time (5 nights per week) with her mom. Her mom is remarried and she and her and her husband have two small children together (3 months and 2 years). Although I would like to have my daughter stay with me more frequently, I think it would be disruptive to her and to their family if I kept her 50/50 or even 40/60.
As for my daughter's step-dad, he is good husband and a great father and loves my daughter unconditionally.
So whata��s the dilemma? Recently, I enrolled myself and my daughter in the YMCA Princess program. This is a 3-year program in which you and your daughter join a tribe with other dads and daughters. Basically, your tribe meets two times per month and partakes in activities such as camping, community service, crafts etca�� Some of the activities are unique to your tribe, but many are standard. Participants also partake in several larger events with members of all the other tribes. I am really excited to be a part of this program. It will give me and my daughter quality daddy/daughter time and will enable us to maintain and strengthen our bond in light of the fact we dona��t spend more time together (there is never enough time, right?).
Today, I received an email from my daughters step dad telling me that he was going to enroll our daughter in the same program. In fairness to him, I think he had been planning to do this for some time as well. He said he feels we can both do the program. This means she will do many things twice. For the big all-tribe events (annual camping etc..), he says we could alternate trips.
My initial reaction is one of intense emotional hurt. I cried for about 20 minutes and it was all I could do not to get physically sick. At this point, I am trying to decide what is best for our daughter. My principle concerns are as follows: she will be doing all of the activities twice (making head-dresses, picking an Indian name, going to meetings (now 4 times per month, not 2). Frankly, she might get burned out, or the very least, it wona��t be as much fun for her to repeat the same activities. On a related note, I am concerned that the bonding time I am trying to create will be devalued. I am also worried that an underlying competition might develop (this group is more fun than that group). Even if her step-dad and I were able to be the bigger people, competition is unavoidable, since much of what determines group dynamics are the other kids in the group. Finally, will she have time for other activities such as swim team and soccer if she is doing 2 YMCA programs. With 2 programs, she will basically be tied up every other Saturday and once night during the week (every other week) for the next three years.
I understand how much her step-dad loves her and I understand that he wants bonding time too. My thought on this is that he already spends so much time with her. Also, their bond is very secure. I also understand that he would like to do the fun stuff with her, but could he not do a special night with her every other week (bowling, movie, ice skating) and maybe a special weekend every other month?
There is one more twist. From talking to my ex-wife, I think she and her husband are concerned that our daughtera��s relationship with her step-dad would suffer if he did something so important with his two biological children (he plans to do YMCA with them), and not with her. They are concerned she would feel different and less loved. I know thata��s not his sole motivation for wanting to do the program with her, but I think it is a concern.
My thought on this is that by the time their next child goes through the program our daughter will be almost 11 years old. I feel that through good communication they can explain why they did not do the YMCA program together. It was not through a lack of love of his part, but because he and her mom thought she should bond with her biological dad. Any lack of time I spend with my daughter, or the suffering of its quality, is not on the other hand, something I will ever be able to explain through communication.
Sorry my story is so long, but I would love to get some

Sorry my story is so long, but I would love to get some feedbacki?S
thanks for the answers, others, please feel free to respond.
my mom's new $20,000.00 wedding ring went missing from the home gym which she took off to lift weights and workout, i assured he that when my husband came over that he didn't go into the basement, cause i was with him the whole time, maybe her maid or cable guy took it, likely the cable guy, I was so sure until last night, i told my huband to go change our baby's diaper and we were cuddled watching a movie so i noticed he was taking to long and too"quiet" so i creeped to take a pep hoping to catch a cute "daddy-daughter" moment only to see him silently peeking away at the computer so thank God we have carpet: cause i was about to quietly sneak up on him and read the email he was sending and it said " i love and miss you too, i will be with you soon enough" something along those lines, mine you we just reconcieled and got back together it's been like a month back together after 7 months in different states preping for a divorce because of his walking out and texting me that he moved 3 states away after 2.5 yrs marriage, that's how i found out so im building character for you to base you opions ok now he begged for weeks to come back but only after 4-5 months he was content with the break up, so i prayed and gave in to do the right thing, cause i might have missed out on the new and improved man that he claimed to have become, so he's back and last week he was on a dating website/social networking site that he claims was purely for networking and touching base with old classmates, so all this to say, when i snuck up on him last night after seeing that i calmly thou totally shocked i calmly toldhim to go back into his email that he QUICKLY logged out of once busted, and he knew that he had to so he did and i read the name of the sent message and scanned for more emails and found literally hundreds of convos and the most recent was a marriage proposal conviently when my rich moms ring went missing, and his messages of his soon return and that he missed this woman and her child, i was blown out of the chair well at least my soul was, it left tthe room and didn't come back for hrs. i picked him and found out that he did go into the NEW basement that had recently been totally remodeled: so that was his reason for sneaking into the basement to see how the finish looked and that's when my mom was out of town and i was baby sitting my siblings and their friends so do you think that the man who steals toilet paper and trash bags from work, who skipped town after his workplace was robbed at gun point, who left a condom in the toilet and claimed that he was pleasing HIMSELF while i was at work and on my way home to be intimate with him, who obviously had a relationship while we were not together but denises it, who says that she was just a friend and the devil made him propose to her, who never keeps a job and i pay 99% of bills since the begining of our rocky marriage, i tried to get him into church thinking only god could fix him tell me anyone did he take the ring?!
Thanks you guys for all your comments, i need that to help me feel 'NOT CRAZY" I'm depressed but this helps so please leave a comment-a 'real" comment folks
What are your opinions on that movie? I just watched it last Tuesday and at first I thought I disliked it because I didn't see the problem until 3/4 of the movie was over and I hated the ending, but for some reason I think I'm starting to like it now?
-- A bit of spoiler's below, don't read if you don't want to --
It's just because like Claire (I believe) waited her whole life for this Henry guy basically -- like she had to grow up and then look for him. And then when they do get married and what not, he dies in the end and then she spends her time waiting for him to come back as a younger age to visit her.
I don't know, for some reason that movie seems so strange to me... like I disliked it at first because I couldn't find the problem. Sure he travels through time but it's not like it bugged Claire too much until he was gone for two weeks and she was tired of doing artwork at home, but then that was fixed when they won the lottery.
I didn't see the problem until basically 3/4 of the movie was over which was the fact that he was going to die and they couldn't have a child because the baby time travels while in the womb. And then the ending I found was stupid too because he died in the end. I figured they would of found a cure because his daughter was like "Sing, Daddy" and telling him that that's what helps her not time travel. But then in the end he still dies and Claire continues to wait all her life for him to come back and visit her.
So when I got out of the theater I wasn't too fond of the movie because the ending was sad and everything and I didn't see the problem until it was clear and obvious. But then now I feel like the movie was really good and I don't know, it's weird. I can't explain it.
But what are your opinions on the movie?
My hubby has 3 kids, a set of twins (17 yrs old) and a 14 yr old son. He has been divorced from their mother for about 7 yrs. He calls the kids every night and we get them every weekend from Friday to Sunday. In Jan 2010 I will be in the picture for 3 yrs. Before I came along the youngest son was sleeping with daddy. When my hubby moved in with me he remolded the basement for the boys. The youngest will not sleep down there, he sleeps on the sofa every weekend. Now if daddy sleeps down there, he will sleep down there.
My hubby revolves the entire weekend around this child. He is permitted to sleep on the sofa, keep his belongings in the dining room, sits in front of the living room tv and controls the remote. He will sit and play video games for hours upon hours on this tv. He will not go outside unless daddy is out there. He will not help his daddy such as cut grass or stack fire wood. He has bikes and motor bikes but wont ride them unless daddy is outside to watch him. If my hubby isn't sitting beside of him on the sofa then the child will sit on whatever end of the sofa that my hubby is near and they will stroke each other hands. One morning I awoke to find my hubby sitting on the chair beside the sofa stroking this child's head as he slept. As soon as my hubby hears that this child is awake, he flies out of bed and fixes his breakfast. He fixes his plate for every meal including even a sandwhich. Several times my hubby has slept in the living room with this child claiming it is either too hot or too cold in our bedroom. He will take this boy hunting or fishing every weekend or do something with him. Whenever we go out to eat he allows this child to decide where we are going. This boy whines and talks like a baby constantly and his older brother and sister are always asking him why he acts this way here and not at there moms. They tell him to stop whining and to grow up. One time his older brother was watching a movie that showed women's breast and this boy said "this movie has boobies in it". He never talks about girls and if there are kids at the house with his brother, he still hangs out with daddy. When we have friends over he is sitting right there with the adults. As for my hubby's other two kids, he pays no attention to his daughter. His son is at the age where he hangs put with his friends. So actually they are hardly around. The 17 yr old never acted like this and he was 14 when I met him. He was very mature.
I noticed when this child's mom is around he doesn't act like this.
My hubby totally ignores me on the weekend. Everything is for this child. My hubby and I were spending some time which is very little together by building wooden objects. He said this would be "our thing", last weekend he told this child that it would be their wood shop and even made him his own work area. I am not only pissed but hurt. This child controls everything!
She goes to McDonald's for a bite to eat, she orders a 10-piece nugget meal at McDonald's. When she opens up the nugget boxes and counts them to make sure she got what she paid for, she sees she's missing one!
She calls daddy on her expensive cell phone and cries and sobs to him, telling him how they got her order wrong, how they shorted her a chicken nugget in her order.
What would he do to the grill cook?
What he do to Ronald, Birdie, Grimace, and Hamburgular?
"Morgan R",
Ronald McDonald is one big dummy. He can't hide from Bryan Mills! He WILL find him and kill him, but before that, he will torture him by typing him to a chair, drive nails into his legs, and crank up the voltage until he dies after saying "Ok, I believe you. But it's not gonna save you."
Most politicians just use religion in politics just to get elected. Do you people honestly believe that most of them truly practice what they preach? The founding fathers wanted to keep religion and politics separate. Some other points.
-Most of the Bible and the other books were written by man long ago and are fables. Guiliani said this.
-Bill Maher said that Jesus has the same birthday as many other so-called prophets in his movie.
-Sarah Palin preaches abstinance than her daughter gets pregnant as a teenager and Bristol's baby daddy recently insulted the Palin family on Greta's show recently.
-Obama said in his book that he is not a religious person and that the only reason he ever joined Trinity Church was to interact with people in the community he was working in.
,..it's a year later, his beautiful 18-year-old daughter really likes me and asks me out, and I shake my head and say no. What she doesn't know is that I already have a girlfriend, which is why I said no. Not knowing I'm already dating someone, she's really sad and crying her eyes out to daddy(Bryan Mills), telling him how much I hurt her with rejection, how she went out on a limb, and now she's never felt so crushed and humiliated in her life. And to make matters worse, not even her dad Bryan Mills knows I already have a girlfriend!
As a result, which would Bryan Mills most likely do to me?
A) Instantly come after me and beat the snot out of me while telling me about all the emotional pain I caused his daughter when I turned her down, and how he's going to make feel that same kind of physical pain, and then tell me to apologize for breaking his daughter's heart or he's going to break my arm if I don't.
OR
B) Call me on my cell phone 2 minutes later and say,
"I don't know who you are. I don't what you're looking for in a woman. But you broke my daughter's heart when you rejected her. If it's patience you want me to have for this sort of thing, I can tell you I don't have patience. But what I do have is a very particular set of skills. Skills I've aquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for heartbreakers like you. If you give my daughter another chance and give her a heart-filled apology, I will not pursue you, that'll be the end of it. But if you don't, I will pursue you, I will find you, and I will kill you."
,...it was Christmas Eve, his daughter goes through the trouble of making homemade chocolate chip cookies along with some milk later on for Santa. Santa comes down the chimney later, puts presents under the tree, but IGNORES her offering of milk and cookies after she went through all that trouble of making them! She wakes up next morning on Christmas with presents under the tree, but finds out Santa didn't take her offering! She cries her eyes out to her daddy Bryan Mills, saying how hurt she feels that Santa ignored her offering.
Would he call Santa at his house at the North Pole and say,
"I KNOW who you are. You hurt my daughter's feelings the other day by not accepting her offering of milk and cookies. I don't have patience for this, but what I do have is a particular set of skills that I've aquired over a very long career. Skill that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you come back to the house and accept my daughter's offering of milk and cookies tonight, I will not pursue you, that'll be the end of it. But if you don't, I will pursue you, I will find you up there at the North Pole, and I will kill you."
What would happen?
Ok my friend told me about it like 4 years ago. Its about this woman who has very bad luck with the number 5. Whenever the number is around something very tragic happens to her. She was pregnant and driving into the middle of nowhere with some guy(i think he's the baby'd daddy idk im not sure). and they stopped at a convient store or something and the price rang up to $5.55 and when the lady came out the store the guy was gone. So she gave birth by herself and when her daughter turned 5 something REALLY bad happened but i dont remember.lol

What kind of deep sh#t would Santa Claus be in?

,..if his daughter really liked a boy at school, she asks him out, he says no, she feels hurt and sad, and she runs into her father's(Bryan Mills's) arms telling him just how heart-broken and humiliated she feels, when yet she had no idea that the reason he said no was because he already has a girlfriend.
All the boy did was turn her down when she asked him out, and now she cries to daddy(Bryan Mills), telling her daddy just how much that rejection from him hurt, again, this boy ALREADY has a girlfriend, but Bryan Mills and the daughter don't know that.
Not knowing that that boy already has a girlfriend, what would happen now?
Okay, long story but here's the gist of it,
Two months ago, I was having sex with my wife, and when I was having an orgasm apparently I said "Keira" out loud. The problem is that my four year old daughter's name is Keira, and my wife freaked out about it, and didn't seem to believe me when I said I only said it cuz I was thinking of Keira Knightley, who I used to find very attractive in some of her movies, and was thinking about when I was having sex.
My wife I guess thought it was too big of a coincidence cuz Keira is an uncommon name, and my wife had never heard of the actress Keira Knighley so she didn't really believe me, and I guess she actually thought I was fantasizing about my 4 year old daughter.
Well she acted really weird around me for the next few weeks after that happened, and then the second problem happened.
My daughter loves dolls, and my wife buys a lot of them for her. Well a few weeks after the "Keira" incident, I was home alone with my daughter when my wife was out shopping, and my daughter ran into my computer room with one of her dolls and she had taken all the clothes off the doll and said "why is there not anything between their legs daddy!?" to me. So, I thought about lying to her and saying that boys and girls don't have anything between their legs, but I figured this would seem like a pretty blatant lie to her, given that she must have obviously known that there are parts down there that were missing on the dolls, otherwise why would she ask about it in the first place. So I said "Oh, I think they just forgot to put it on at the factory" and I grabbed the doll and drew a vagina between its legs with a sharpie and stabbed a hole there with the letter opener and gave it back to her.
Of course when my wife got home the first thing my daughter did was run over to her and said "MOMMY LOOK DADDY FIXED MY DOLL FOR ME IT HAS A THING BETWEEN ITS LEGS NOW THEY FORGOT AT THE FACTORY DADDY SAID NOW HE FIXED IT!"
Well, my wife was already weirded out by the Keira thing I guess more than I realized she was, so she flipped out and packed all her stuff up and left with my daughter and I haven't seen my daughter since then. My wife won't even let me see my daughter at all, I don't know what to do.
Should I call a lawyer?
I don't really want to go to court, cuz it would make such a big deal out of it and if my wife's lawyers were better than mine maybe I could even lose even though I'm innocent and then I'd have no chance of ever seeing my daughter again.
I'm really depressed over all of this, and it's just ridiculous cuz there's not even anything wrong with me, my wife is just missunderstanding everything. I can't sleep and every day i just get angrier and angrier. What the hell am I supposed to do, I didn't even do anything to deserve this, I want to see my daughter.
Alright, here's a little back story...
My girlfriend, her 29 month toddler, and I live in Minnesota. My step-daughter went to see her real Daddy about a month ago in Colorado. He knows her, but she only sees him every 3 months or so because he lives so far away. He puts up little effort to be an actual Dad, sometimes doesn't call her for a week or two. Anyway, she was gone for two weeks. In that two weeks we come to find out that he didn't follow the procedures. He let her do WHATEVER she wanted to do. She didn't sit at the table to eat, she wasn't sleeping in her own bed, they let her sleep in their bed... He watched what HE wanted to watch with movies that ultimately scared her. She came back to Minnesota and things were not the same.
Ever since she has come back, she has been SUPER clingy to her Mom and I. You could tell 2 weeks was too much for her. The first night I let her come back to my apartment, she screamed like she has never screamed before, the highest pitch a toddler can make, that nails on a chalkboard sound. She told me that she was afraid of monsters... greaaat. She never EVER was like that before she went to his house.
Now, whenever we put her into a nap, put her two bed, she makes that same high pitch scream and it seems like now she's doing it on purpose, or so we can only imagine. I mean, yeah she talked about Monsters but I don't believe that is what is making her do this, but I don't know. It could be the seperation anxiety, but regardless we need help.
The last 4 nights she has been doing the same thing, regardless. We are doing the same routine we always have. She gets supper, she goes downstairs at her house and watches some TV usually Blues Clues, then she takes a bath, brushes her teeth, goes in her room so we lotion her up, trying to massage her to tire her out. Then we put on jammies, have her go in bed, and we read a story once or twice, but regardless how many times we read a story or don't read a story SHE FREAKS OUT!! She doesn't want us to go, she wants us to scratch her back, wants us to lay down with her, wants to go in our bed, but in the past that has just led to other issues, so we won't do any of those anymore. I would scratch her back for like 30 minutes, when I leave, same issue - she SCREAMS!
The other night she screamed so hard in my apartment, crying, that she threw up. My girlfriend would allow her to climb in bed when she is sick, or anytime in the morning or middle of the night to finish sleeping, but that does not help anyone, it just makes her more dependent on sleeping with us and thus throwing a fit if we don't allow it. We don't want to go back to that route. Regardless, this is becoming a problem. We aren't sleeping, she isn't sleeping, and we need help. All the suggestions or related experiences that could help is definitely appreciated.
HELP!! ha
Oh and the past couple of nights, at my girlfriends place, the toddler has been trying to get in her bed, so my gf has to keep putting her back in her bed but shes crying, screaming at the top of her lungs again. It would be easy to allow her in bed, BUT that doesn't teach the toddler independence and only makes that super clingy toddler... extra clingy again. Any suggestions to getting that to stop would be helpful too.
To Molly - My girlfriend lives with her parents, and sleeps in the same room as the toddler. The toddler has her own bed, but at night she still tries to get in her Mom's bed. My gf has a hard time with this, because when she tries to do the right thing, like putting her back in bed, the screaming gets so ridiculous and extended that her parents get pissed off that she can't 'control' the toddler, so it's tough to stick with that. I will try some of those though, thank you!
My fiance has a very rebelious stubborn 7 year old daughter. In public and at relatives homes she seems to be the most well-mannored child. This is an example of a day:
6:30 am-my fiance has a cdl and does logging and leaves the house around this time. The night before nobody got to sleep til 2:30 (including the child) b/c of constant excuses of her being thirsty, then hearing the "monster" outside then she came and slept in our room.
6:45am-the neighbor knocks on my door letting me know his daughter was close by the road. (I ask her why she did this and didn't wake me up to go out side and she says she missed her daddy and was waiting for him to come home)
7:30 am-scrambled eggs, buiscuits, and sasage are served and she takes two bites out of the eggs and says she doesn't like buiscuits or the sausage. I reply by saying well there are plenty of eggs and eat them. (I understand that some brands of sausage taste different so I let it "slide") She still doesn't eat any more.
8 am- while im washing dishes she says shes hungry so I offer oatmeal and she says no I try to give-in and say "you can put lots of butter and sugar in it" and she still says no. She wants "froot loops" I reply by saying we "just" had breakfast and you let it go to waste. I finally let her have dry cereal.
Ok just about every meal goes like this. Even when I play waitress and ask for her "order" she refuses to eat.
we also have an ordeal about bath-time. She will not let me supervise her take a bath (she will let her father) I don't understand me being a female should make it more comftorable. When I go in the bathroom after she's done the bar of soap isn't even wet and washing hair is a nightmare. she has a fear that water burns just like soap. We use BABY SHAMPOO but it still burns. She will put shampoo in her hair but will not go through her hair withi it. She will throw a fit and scream and splash water on me if I try to help her.
I also understand that children need attention but she believes she should be center of attention ALL the time. Especially after bed she will knock on the bedroom door constantly durring the night begging to sleep in our bedroom. She will be 8 next month. She will purposely wet the bed so she can sleep on our floor. We watch sometimes 2 kiddie movies a day with her and eat meals (Or her rather gathering) together and go out side 1 hour day unless raining or really hot to play. So I would say she's getting plenty or healthy attention and occupied with stuff for her age. I might would say this is resentment of me but her father and I have been a couple for 2 years now and it seems like she would have gotten used to the fact by now.
Her father gives in just as worse as I do. Like she won't eat supper but he'll let her eat lot of dessert. What are some good punishments and an answer to these many problems?
all i remember is i watched it about 4 years ago and it was about this girl who was a "daddy's girl" and she got away with everything because her dad wasn't around enough. then there is this guy who really wants to go to become a pilot for something like the american air force but he cant get an interview so he went out with a group of mates to a pier or something and then they get into trouble with the Police and have to do community service by cleaning up the beach. he meets and starts seeing the girl and her dad don't approve because of where he lives and he isn't rich. the dad is on the board members of the air force thing and offers him a place if he leaves his daughter alone i cant remember after that .
O the girl has got a big house and shes got a bedroom with a massive window and they were making out in her room and her dad and some Business associates walk past and she said don't worry because her dad never pays attention to her.
hope you can help =]
Alright please hear me out. I am utterly confused. I am a 47 year old man, married to a woman for 4 years. I have a daughter who is 6 years old.
Now, I love my wife, and she loves me as well. We also love our daughter.
HOWEVER, yesterday I got home and laid on the couch to watch a movie. My 6 year old daughter came over and said "daddy, will you pick me up from school tomorrow?"
I mean, I'm not sure if she's joking or not, but my wife didn't take it too well! Why did she call me "daddy" and ask me to drive her home? Was she flirting with me? How do I let her know that our friendship is only platonic and that my wife comes first?
so if I took my 6 year old daughter on a dinner date on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, it's not cheating on my wife?
,..stole one of his daughter's chicken nuggets in the McDonald's lobby and I ran with it and got away before he could catch me? Once he found me later on, what would he do to me for stealing that chicken nugget?
A) Thank me for helping keep her weight down because he wants her to look good for the camera for her up and coming singing career, knowing that that one chicken nugget contains a lot of calories.
OR
B) Something else...
BTW, I wanted to add that his daughter in the movie is spoiled. She lives in a huge house, her daddy pays for a trip to Europe, her daddy buys her a kareoke machine, she got all mad when her dad did not want to let her go to Europe at first which shows she's spoiled, her stepdad has millions or billions or dollars so she's like some little princess living in a fairy tale castle and the only thing she's missing is a Prince Charming, and yet most parents can't just up and go buy their kid millions of things like that. What's next? Is she going to get a shiny, red Ferrari for her birthday?
"Daniel L",
he sounds like a pretty bad guy.
I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years. He has a 6 year old daughter that is with us most of the time. I love this little girl dearly, but I have no clue if I'm doing things the right way. I have her more than her father and her mother do, so I am not the "fun" one most of the time. What I mean by this is that I see her daily and can't make every moment of the day exciting. When her mother gets her, or when her dad gets home, that is when most of the fun goes down. Since her mom doesn't see her often, she takes her to a movie or to the yogurt shop. I am afraid that one day, she will end up resenting me since I am the primary caretaker. She has no actual "requirements" to love me...I am not her biological mom. She and I, ninety-five percent of the time, get along amazingly well. I treat her as if she were my own, but sometimes that means getting on to her for things. Her dad is wonderful, but she is a Daddy's little girl, and he always gives in to her (whether it is candy, or whatever). I over-analyze everything, so I always think I'm doing things wrong. I just want whats best for her, but that little girl is the queen of pouty faces, so then I think I'm doing a bad job. Please, just give me a little guidance and advice. Thanks! Just to give a little more background info, the mom and I get along well, her dad and I have a very stable relationship, and she is such a bright light in my life. I just hear horror-stories all too often about step relationships. My biggest fear is that she will grow up to dislike me because I wouldn't let her have dessert one night. I also have no children of my own, so I still feel, almost two years later, that I have no clue what I'm doing.
I really don't get it. It's just a movie.
Ok I was watching "But Daddy it hurts 4" but still I don't want to have relations with our daughter. I just like to watch stuff like that.
How can i make her more accepting of natural desires to watch?
Thanks
I dont get it - what's wrong with watching???
You know the movie where the daddy and daughter both have 2 different personalites and we dont find that out till the end ?! I LOVE that! so does anywho know what type of Move that is under "sci fi,comdy. and stuff like that" ( I know its not comdy i was just lettin you know what i meant) =]; and any movies that are cool like that!
So it was last day of French and we were watching a video, but I don't know what it is called
In this movie a girl and her father go on holiday and the girl (named Vero) pretends to be an 18 year old and the father (named AndrA�) is her lover (but he isn't, and she is actually 14 1/2) and that he got her off drugs - basically she is a liar. Then the boy she told this to (named Benjamin) wants to take her away and protect her from the father (the father doesn't know his daughters been saying all this), when he eventually finds out he plays along pretending to be the adventurer she said he was and that he is "ill" and has a wound that makes him sore sometimes from his advernturing days (remember, all lies).
We got up to the bit Vero is drowning and they can't start the speedboat and the father swims out and starts drowning and the daughter yells "Daddy! Daddy" that is when she is found out, they get him out and he goes in the ambulance.
I'm not sure if anyone will know its name but if you do please answer :]
My ex-husband decided after 6 years of marriage to divorce me. At the time our daughter was 2 years old. It was a total shock and his only reason was that he prefers to be single and regretted ever having a traditional family life and prefers to be more independent. Even his own family was shocked and devastated. It has been nearly 2 years and although I have primary custody of our daughter, he takes her weekly for overnights. He picks her up in time for bed and then drops her back off early in the morning...basically, she sleeps there. On occasion, he will do something fun or nice with her. Often, his new girlfriend is included. I know that after a divorce it should not be a competition. But, I value my relationship with my little girl and have made endless sacrifices to raise her and be the best mom I can. I re-entered my career part time but still dedicate the majority of my week to being home with her. I teach her things and do all the daily things to care for her...taking her to preschool, taking care of her when she's sick. To me, I can't imagine any other life. I love being her mom. However, in her eyes, her daddy is king of the world. I would never tell her what he did to us and don't plan on having that conversation until she's an adult. But, it's hard to sit back and watch him act like super dad when he threw his family away. I want her to have a healthy relationship with him but at the same time, I want her to realize who her "real" parent is. But, she's too small to see any of this. It hurts when she praises him but I just suck it up and tell her that I'm glad she loves seeing her daddy. I never speak negatively about him despite my feelings. I no longer love him and have a very fulfilling life as a single mom and professional. She has no idea how low on the priority list we were to him and now that we are divorced they go to amusement parks, buy toys and watch fun movies together and eat candy at bedtime. When we were a family, all he did was golf, travel and go out with friends...he never was a family man. It's very frustrating. Any advice for a sad mom who doesn't want to ever lose her daughter as the years go on?
My son is 2 1/2 yrs old. I know every parent says their child is smart or advanced, but my little man understands concepts of MANY things. Private parts are forbidden, humps my moms legs when she walks around in shorts, my mom has told me he told her he wanted Dora (the explorer) to lay on him and says "i like pretty girls and that he has gf's" and looked up my friend's skirt and laughed. No one teaches him how to "be" like that of coarse. and its not just in the funny way, it's weird. Me and his stepfather tell him no, thats not right all the time. He responses in sentences and reasons with me. I don't know if he watches too much tv or see's my husband kiss me? His bio dad sometimes talks vulgar and says inappropriate things but I'm not there to see for myself and he won't tell me the truth. My son even knows what cuss word to use at certain situations. I know toddlers have a vivid imagination but he just surprises me everyday and I don't want him to grow up thinking being inappropriate and a "smart butt" is good to his parents..atleast this early! He even used to run and say "F You!" at his stepdad when he put him in time out. Sometimes we even forget he is only 2 and that he isn't grown. His stepdad and him play together all the time and sometimes are closer than me and him so I don't get it...
At that, I have a 5 month old daughter and ever since she was born he always wants to stay at my moms house and seems never to enjoy being with us anymore. He is very close to her and even calls her "his baby" so its not that he doesn't like his little sister. We try to take him out or buy toys together and watch movies so he doesn't feel left out, but he says " i love grandma!" and calls her house "HOME." I'll say, "but i love you too!" and he pauses says "yeah, i love you mom", but not daddy, I love daddy Justin though (his deadbeat dad)....it hurts my husband and I don't know what I can say to make my son understand he hurts daddys feelings..what can I do...he's growing too fast!!!
thanks for your answers...I made him stay with us tonite and played a computer game to keep him busy and he didn't even cry about my mom leaving=)

seriously... my boyfriend and I "broke up" offically a couple of nights ago after a week of, in his words, "I'm in love with you, but I just can't see a future between us anymore"..this was cause by a fight we had that did consist of some name calling on my end (i know, I messed up). He sent me so many mixed signals that week. Like took me out to dinner and a movie...we had a great time, but when we got home, he would just turn around in bed. Anyways...so after a week of that...I told him he could leave if he wanted...to basically pack up. It felt to me that he was begging for me to break up with him. So I told him to pack up and he did. That night, I went over his friends house to talk to him...sure enough, he packed his clothes, knives (lol), shaving cream and stuff like that and told me again..."Im in love with you, but I cant see a future with you and I dont know why". how frustrating, right? A few nights later, I texted him and we kinda got into another arguement, and I told him to tell be what I've "needed" to hear to move on..."I don't want to be with you again". For a while, he wouldnt. He refused. Then...the night we got in our last argument, he finally did say it..."I dont want to be with you anymore". He does have CDs, his TV, coffee table, dining room table, etc. still here though. A little history on our relationship...we've been together for a year, very much in love with a great relationship. I have a 5 year old daughter that called him daddy (with no pressure, of course)...and he loved it. 4 hours prior to the fight where there was name calling..he told me how much he loved me and wanted a family with me etc. The week that he was sending me mixed signals and we were trying to "work things out"...his biological dad contacted him and told him he was flying out soon with his brothers and sisters, that my boyfriend has never met/talked to his whole life. So basically I have some people telling me that he's confused and had so much happen all at once and thats why he's acting the way he is....other people just don't know. like I said, his stuff is still here. even his hats...which he ALWAYS wears. I just dont know.
So, im in a different town to my fiace right now so we talk on skype every day. He like me is a divorcee. He has a daughter who turns four in August and I am wrried about when we get married coz of how she acts. I get that that its just been him and her as she has never known her mom and so i guess she is close to him but the way she acts is freaking me out..not to mention driving me crazy with jealousy! She is always up on him kissin him and she has to have physical contact almost all the time! she sleeps in the same bed and tickles his back..saying stuff like that feel good daddy? and he replies 'mmm yeah!' i watch horrified on cam not knowing what to say. She busts in on our conversations and demands his attention any way she can get it..she uses her stuffed animal as baby and tells him he is the daddy and she is the mommy...i know she is three but surely its not right! i tried to get him to put her in her own bed but he says he likes to cuddle with her...he keeps her awake til he goes to bed and they say night to me then snuggle up to watch a movie..i dont want this to create problems with us when i move in and we get married...i feel like im fighting for his attention with another woman! (i know i sounds ridiculous but thats how it feels! I try to talk to her but she just walks away from me and as im only on cam, she gets away with it. She has no respect for me and her dad lets her get away with it as he is so lax on disiplining her...Yet he tells methat he wants me to help with raising her and being her mommy after we get married...im so stressed out by this and i feel he doesnt underrstand when i try and talk to him about it....i think you guys get the point i could go on and on with a million examples!
HEEELLLLLLP MMMEEEEEEEE!
The movie is about a girl who goes to paris with a friend of her, then he dad calls her and at the moment she gets kidnapped, while she on the phone and she screams daddy..
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey all, i am so confused! I have been going out with this girl since August of last year, and i didn't really realize that i started to have strong feelings for her until last november! I didn't know how to tell her so i just kept it to myself until after her birthday! she sent a text saying that she loved me! it progressed and i Truly want to spend my life with her and that's what she has been telling me as well. This story has a little extra to it. She has a ten year old daughter that's awesome and yes i know when there is a daughter there is a father. He has been out of the picture for a while until now i think. So anyway, i have been awesome to this girl i treat her with so much respect every time she stayed the night i either cooked dinner for her or we went out, i always bought flowers for her and had them sent to her house, i mean she is super special to me. In december i bought her a promise ring and she really liked it but i never saw it on. January was really good and february came along and i planned this awesome weekend for valentines and i bought her gift a week in advance i mean the gift was nice cause early on in the relationship she made reference to going to france and how much she loved fashion. So i bought two books one on Paris and one on fashion put them in a nice box and put it away. that week i dont know what had happened she stopped talking to me, so i was worried and upset. I went to one of her best friends and asked for help and she did, basically what happened was that she was so confused she said, i told my girls friend that i want to talk to her,and since i dint know what had happened i gave her friend the box to give to her. so valentines weekend was shot, but the night before valentines my girl went to her friends place and they were talking and the friend gave the box to her, her friend told me that she started to cry and said that she loved me and no one ever listened to her like me. She said she was confused cause the baby's daddy was trying to fill up her head with stuff. well she ended up coming over that night, her friend had told me this when she was on her way to my house. So in the mean time i went and bought a dozen roses. I cant tell you how in love i am with her! anyway she came over and i told her that its was ok and we could talk but i had her go into the bedroom with her eyes shut and i said these are for you and she started to cry and it kinda made me tear up a little too. She always told me i was a beautiful person and she saw me in her life and all that stuff. Anyway i never tried to do anything crazy for her i did what i felt was right cause when i was with her it was just so comfortable. Well that night she left and went home the next morning i called her to tell her happy V day and she had told me her ex came over and was drunk and she didnt let him in but he slapped her and her daughter saw and he was trying to hit her too. It made me upset but to this day i have kept all negative words about him to myself. so time progressed and in april she asked me to help he daughter with a school science project i jumped at the opportunity. i helped her put it all to gether and it was the first time i had met her as well. everything has been great three weeks ago she bought a little beater car just to put miles on it and it had some issues so i bought the parts. that was on a thursday on friday night she came over and i made dinner we watched a movie and we fooled around, around 5 am she felt sick like she was getting the flue and she wanted to go home and i tried to make her comfortable i mean i made her tea was holding her but thats not new i would always hold her in bed or she would hold me, it was just comfortable. well she left and she called me as soon as she got home and i checked on her like every three or four hours, to see if she needed anything and how she was feeling. sunday i went to put the parts on her car because she felt good and that was the day of hr sisters baby shower. i put the parts on we hugged we kissed i went home and she called me threw out the day.Monday came around we spoke in the morning and around midday and that was it. for that week., until sunday she called to say how she missed my voice and i asked what was wrong and she said nothing. well that monday her daughter called me to thank me for helping her with the project and she got first place in her class. we started talking that whole week and we went to disneyland on saturday. i brought her two dozen roses of her favorite color because mothers day was the next day. i taled to her on mothers day but didnt get to see her. monday i brought her breakfast to work and it was nice and that was last week . now she hasnt talked to me or anything. i feel so upset because i opened up my heart and it got crushed. i have sent her a few text but no response! im not stupid and i have a feeling the ex is up to something but i feel like someone stepped all over me i mean this girl i thought was
she's always been a daddy's girl. and me and my daughter always have arguments. strict parents are good parents. i'm only looking out for well-being. if she wants to go wild in college that's on her. i only hope she knows the consequences of her actions. she does not smoke, drink, and she just recently had her first kiss. she didnt even tell me. i had to her it from her friend's mother's. but i really do not think she should be dating and i don't think boys should be calling her. i dont like her listening to that evil music on 97.5 and sometimes cut her radio off. i dont like her reading those evil harry potter books. we are christain's. don't like her going to the movies alone. but sometimes she does.
Okay, so i've posted a few times about my ex...here's the short version...
we have been together for 5 years, have 2 kids (4yo & 8months old), have a home that we own on some land, pets, really nice life. well, he got tired of being tied down and wanted "freedom" so he up and walked out on me about 3.5 weeks ago. since then he has done really stupid things, shown up here with hickies on his neck, made promises to the kids he has broken, talked to me like a piece of crap saying that it's all my fault. needless to say we've had a very hard few weeks. i have been very depressed, can't eat sleep think just blah. well, about a week ago i started feelin better, took a vacation to miami with my kids, met up with an old friend, and next thing i knew, my ex was down visiting family the same weekend. we have barely spoken, but when he heard i was down in miami, he started talking and being super sweet, and we talked through a lot of issues that he refused to talk about the last 3 weeks. then on friday, i met up with him (hadn't seen him in like 2 weeks) at his parents house so he and them could see the kids. i didn't look at him at ALL. i couldn't because i know how my heart still feels, and i know i will melt just looking at him. he cried tellin me how sorryhe was, and how sorry he is for hurting me and blahblahblah. he tried to give me a hug and i turned away because again, i know me, and i know i will melt and end up heartbroken again.
well, saturday, this old friend of mine left me hanging (super mad bout that one) and so i called up my ex to see if he wanted to meet me at a nearby park and play with the kids (because our daughter asks for her daddy CONSTANTLY). he met me there, and played & then sat infront of me on the bench, and we had a very good conversation...and next thing i knew, i gave him a hug, and he kissed me, and BAM, there it was, that melting feeling. that safe, perfect spot in his arms lips to lips. we ended up going our seperate ways, and he called me and told me to cancel my plans with this "friend" of mine, and go with him. well, i told him no. but after sitting around, and being left hanging, i called him back & told him yes. making it seem like i had canceled on this guy just to go with him. little did he know, i got ditched, lol. BUT, i made him feel special. so he came and picked me up, my kids stayed home with grandma. & he took me to the beach at night, with the full moon, and held my hand, we walked along the water in the sand, layed down in the sand, and again...my heart melted, and he kissed me. the most romantic kiss i think we have ever had. (he is a very NON ROMANTIC person...) and next thing we knew, we are kissing and hugging and holding hands & like little middle schoolers all over again. just being sweet and laughing and smiling and having an incredible time! he kept telling me how beautiful i was (which he NEVER does) and how he compares every girl he see's to me, and none of them come close. he couldn't stop smiling at me and looking at me and telling me these things. it felt like the perfect love movie...him and i haven't been like that, in oh my goodness....since we first met! & it was never THAT good back then! he took me to the lifeguard tower, where we just cuddled, & talked & just watched the boats out on the water at night, it was beautiful...anyway...so yeah. NOW what do i do? just when i thought my heart was starting to mend, here he comes at full force, and i am so terrified of getting my heart crushed again. should i risk it & see what may happen? or should i block him out & run & protect my heart? we have 2 children together, and he's a good daddy (when he's around...which he says will be a lot now that he has a vehicle again) so i won't keep him from his kids. but, what can i do about protecting me? i don't want to be heartbroken again...but then again, he is the father of my kids, not just some random man. shouldn't i give it at least 1 last try? i'm very confused...just need advice.
she does not smoke, drink, and is a virgin until marriage
i had to hear it from her friends mom
we've never been as close as i wanted us to be. she's also been closer to her father. she's always been the daddy's girl. but i have always failed to understand
i don't like her going to the movies alone by herself. she could get raped..
we are christains and i dont like her listening to all that evil music on 97.5. when she's listening to music in her room i often cut the radio off.
i dont like her going to the mall by herself either.\
she went to one party, but i went with her because the party lasted till about 12am which is far too late
i dont like her wearing tanktops or v-neck sweaters. but that's basically what her whole closet consists of
1 hour ago - 4 days left to answer.
and i dont think boys should be calling her
i dont like her reading harry potter or twilight because its evili had to hear it from her friends mom

strict parents are good parents. if she wants to run wild when she gets in college and party instead of doing her work she will have no one to blame but herself. we raised her right
There is this movie that I remember seeing in the 80's it was about a woman that feared her husband ...she know that he was going to kill her...they are on a boat together and they have a small daughter...she too was on this boat and the woman somehow got a gun and had it pointed at her husband and then the daughter showed up and the man says amanda come to daddy and the woman says no amanda come to mommy... I don't remember how she escapes off the boat but she does and then it shows her running on the beach after she was shot in the leg by her husband with somekind of harpoon arrow or craossbow and shes running with her daughter in her arms well at the end of the movie it shows a picture of her holding her little girl and it had writing that said that the mom ended up going to jail for murdering her husband"
I took my daughter for 18 month check up. Everything was great except she said her Speech worries her. she mumbles alot of words but you cant understand its quiet cute. but when they asked if she was saying full sentences i said no. she says mommy/daddy/bad/eat/ and a few others no sentences. She does understand what certin words mean such as No. yes. bath.. so the doctor says thats good. but i have heard of other kids being sent to speech therapist and just took time and they finally started talking. i've also got her baby einstien movies to help they seem to bore her lol we also work with her daily on word. Anyone else? any advise maybe?
yea i know i was thinking same thing by sentences they meant like "mommy come" Mommy bye bye" things like that she doesnt even say two words together sept bye bye. i kinda felt same way like she is only 18 months.... glad to see wasnt just me that felt that way. Doctor said give her 6 months. if not any better then we move forward.
Also the doctor said she would send her to therapy now but wanted to give us more time. to try and slow down words and try to get her to understand.
I have a 4yo daughter & 7month old son.
My daughter rarely plays with any of her toys unless she has friends over. She has a room FULL of toys. A huge dollhouse out back that her Daddy built her, and a swing set. But unless she has anybody to play with she wants nothing to do with any of it. She rather play a game on the computer, or watch some of her favorite Disney movies, or climb on the pool table and pretend it's a mountain, or cover herself with a blanket and pretend shes hiding, and stuff like that. None of her toys. Which is GREAT cause she has an amazing imagination! But I spend all this money on her toys, (because she wants them, or deserves it) and she plays with them for 5 minutes, and then it goes in the closet never to be seen again.
As for my son, he's 7 months old and also has a TON of toys. He's crawling around and into everything EXCEPT for his toys lol. He rather play with the remote controls on the floor, or the little speck of dirt or some other thing he can find on the floor, like shoes, anything. But if you set a toy that lights up and makes noises and talks he looks at it like "come on Mom, are you SERIOUS?" and crawls right past it...
So do your kids play with their toys??
Told my ex-wife I would watch my daughter for a few hours, but changed my mind, i don't wanna be bothered tonight, not in the mood. well, she and my daughter (4 years old) are banging on my doors and windows, like the "Strangers" movie.. she has my daughter yelling "daddy" over and over again.. why can't my ex just take a hint and stop putting herself thru this? please, im tired and just wanna watch tv. i work all day, my ex doesn't

im 3 seconds from calling the law to remove this maniac off my property
My husband's 17-year-old daughter from a previous marriage lives with us. She has a boyfriend who is always around, which wouldn't be a problem, except that they constantly hole themselves up either in her room, laying on the bed together "watching T.V." (with the door closed) or down in our finished basement laying on the futon together "watching T.V." where we can't supervise them properly. I have told my husband that I think this behavior is inappropriate and that my parents would never have allowed this to go on when I was that age. He says "Kids are going to do what they are going to do, so it doesn't matter." He doesn't believe anything inappropriate is going on. He thinks they are behaving themselves. Last night we went to bed and she and "Mikey" went down to the basement to "watch a movie". This morning, she has a hickey on her neck. Daddy's little angel! Part of me thinks I need to butt out since I'm not her mom and her dad is okay with all this. The other part of me says "Hell no!" This is my house, too and I have a 10 year old daughter that is impressionable and seeing all this. How can I get my husband to see the light and have my back on this?
My parents were going to name me Donna (ugh) or Kelly,but decided on Dawn.I always wished they would have gone with Kelly.
With my 1st son I had the name Jake picked out since Jr. High.His name is Jacob (Jake) Anthony.With my daughter I was going to name her Ashlie Kristine,but changed it at the last minute to Lauren Ashlie.My 2nd son was going to be Jordan Alexander and towards the end of my pregnancy I was watching a movie and fell in love with the name Brendan (Brendan Frasier) we changed it to Brendan Alexander.For my 3rd son we were going to name him Nathan,but we decided on the name Jayson.He is now Jayson Leigh (Leigh is his daddy's name) Just curious:)

I love taking my daughter places and for V-Day wanted to take her to see the new movie Coroline not sure if that's how its spelled but i wanted to see it and don't think it's fair to leave her behind just for me and daddy time. We can do that later but i love spending time especially all the smaller holidays with my daughter. I have to admit is had started arguments because when my fiance wants to go somewhere for a romantic weekend i want to take her with us but i think about things happening to her and we are not close . anyone else like this or am i just weird?
that's how i feel. i admit i have some seperation issued but like i said i worry about going somewhere and something happening to her and not being right there. But to me it's fun taking her to dinner and movies. i wouldnt if it was not appropriate but as you said there are 24 hours in a day i can always have alone time also.
she's 2 1/2. i know it has been hard but i have been better about her dad and i have our alone time. it just is so hard i worry about her all the time.
I have been with my boyfriend for 4 years. We both have kids from previous relationships. My youngest daughter never met her sperm donor (his choice not mine) so she knows my boyfriend as daddy. Other than her we have no children together. Last year he cheated on me with an ex girlfiend. I found out over the summer and he said it only happened once, i knew better than that though. Well about a month ago I felt like he was cheating on me again. We were on our way to the movies and he told me that he does not want to loss me and he loves me. I know he does love me and i know he does not want to lose me either. So as we pulled up at his friends house that was going to the movies with us I asked him if he was cheating on me cuz he kept going MIA, he said no and that there was something he want to talk to me about but he planned on doing in after we got home. Is it something bad and he said yeah i said is it something that might break us up he said yeah i said u got a baby, he said yeah. I flipped the F*^&% out!! The baby was born in October and I just found out ab out it in January!! He said he didn't tell me she was pregnant when I found out about them cheating cuz he didn't know for sure it was his and he didn't want to hurt me any more. He got a DNA and found out around Turkey day that the baby is his. He said the reason he has been MIA is because she works and needs him to baby sit. It hurts me that he had this baby but this is something that can't be undone. I can accept the baby because the baby didn't ask for this but the mother will not let the baby come over to the house which means he has to go over there to watch him. I am not ok at all with him being in the same house as her, I don't trust either one of them at this point. I love him with all my heart and am willing to work this out with him but he does not understand how I feel about him being at her house. It would be one thing if he was there only to babysit but there are times when he goes over and she is there. I told him I don't want a reoccurance and he said there won't be. Part of me wants to leave him because he isn't taking me feelings into consideration and part of me wants to cheat on him to get revenge and show him how it feels and part of me wants to work through this. Any suggestions!!
My husband and I have a baby together, a little 6 m/o girl and we both adore her and love her dearly. He has a daughter from another relationship, also a girl - 5 years old.
His little girl does not live with us, and because of conflicting work schedules / lack of transporation we only get to see her about one weekend a month.
She was thrilled when we told her she was going to be a big sister, I sent her pictures from my ultrasounds in the mail and I wrote on the letter that the "baby asked me to do it" (lol), I painted the bedroom and she came in after and painted some flowers and things of her own on the wall and made some decorations for the room, she was just over the top thrilled about it.
But now things have changed. She obviously didn't know what was really happening, she is 5 after all. She didn't understand things would change and she would have to "share" her daddy and now she is really jealous and acting out when we see her. I understand we don't see her often, so when she is here she wants to spend time with her daddy, but it's not always that easy for us. I'm a first time mother and no one to help me out but him so often it takes the two of us to care for her, and his daughter doesn't like that at all. Once she said that "Its her daddy and not the babys daddy so we had to throw her in the garbage." I was appauled, she is also violent sometimes and throwing toys, being disrespectful, and whenever my husband shows affection to our daughter his daughter all but rips our throats out throwing tantrums.
I understand this is probably normal, but I am losing control of the situation and I dont know what to do. I understand she doesnt come to our house very much and needs alone time with her daddy, but when she is here my husband pretty much ignores me and our daughter.. I know he doesnt get to see her often but IMO just because she is here doesn't mean he should completly ignore our baby to the point of not attending to her when shes crying. I've talked to him about both the tantrums and his lack of attention for our daughter when she is here but he just says the tantrums will pass and that when his daughter is here he needs to be with here, which I totally understand. I usually watch the baby on Saturdays while she's here so he can go to a movie with her and take her to the park and stuff, and I also spend some alone time with her making crafts. But even now, and more so when our daughter is older she will notice she's being ignored. She doesnt like it now and she's 6 months old so I cant imagine in another year. So I was wondering if anyone had any similar situations and could give me some advice on what to do?
a�?Daddy,a�? I whispered, half asleep in the backseat of our Jeep. a�?If you could have one wish in the world, what would it be?a�?
a�?Hmm, Angel,a�? he said, stroking his chin. a�?Thata��s a tough one. I dona��t know. We have a long drive ahead of us. Sleep now, and Ia��ll have an answer for you when you wake up.a�?
a�?Okay,a�? I murmured, then added, a�?Daddy?a�?
a�?Yes?a�?
a�?I love you.a�?
a�?Love you too, sweetheart,a�? my father said.
I drifted off to sleep clutching my teddy bear, Winky, in my arms.
*****
Next thing I knew, I was awoken to the sound of sirens. Lights flashed, and strong arms lifted me out of the car. a�?Winky!a�? I said, automatically panicking when I realized my bear had dropped onto the floor. Someone handed me the stuffed animal, and I hugged him tight. And then, in a smaller voice, I inquired, a�?Daddy? Wherea��s my Daddy? What happened?a�?
I looked up, and was staring into the face of a policeman. He had a kind face, but policemen scared me. They had guns and wore scary outfits and looked as if they could beat you up if they wanted to.
No one answered my questions, but I heard the policemen talking anyways. I caught snatches of their conversation. a�?. . . car accident . . . father . . . died from the impact . . . other driver was drinking . . . the little girl is just fine . . .a�?
I began to scream. a�?I want my Daddy!a�?
The policeman didna��t say anything. He just buckled me into the backseat of the police car and took me down to the station.
It was then that I realized something. Daddy had never answered my question.
I began to sob, hysterical sobs that shook my whole body. a�?Daddy,a�? I whimpered, hugging Winky tight.
Then suddenly I was very angry. I had Winky, but I didna��t want him. I wanted my father. I threw my teddy bear to the floor, mad at Winky for letting this happen. Then I stubbornly turned my face to the window and stared out. I watched the stars for a couple minutes, and then turned around and picked up my bear. After all, it wasna��t his fault.
*****
When we got to the station, a policewoman took me aside. She gave me a lollipop and told me what had happened: my father had died, and now she needed to know what to do with me. She asked me how old I was, and I held up six fingers. She smiled and asked me if I had any other relatives. a�?Mom,a�? I told her.
a�?Wherea��s Mom?a�? she asked me, but I didna��t know. Other girls had mothers; I had none. Of course, I knew I must have had one somewhere, but she didna��t play an active role in my life. Daddy talked about her sometimes, but I didna��t really care. I usually changed the subject, because she was unimportant to me. All I knew was that when she and Daddy separated when I was a baby, he took me and I never saw her again.
Then I remembered something. A tattered piece of paper with my mothera��s phone number and address on it, taped to our fridge at home. I dona��t know why it was there, but it was. Maybe Daddy called and talked to Mom sometimes, but I never took much notice.
I told this to the policewoman, and she asked me a bunch of other questions. Eyelids drooping, I answered as best as I could.
The next few hours were a blur to me. We went to my house and the policewoman saw Moma��s address and phone number, called her and made arrangements. I packed up my stuff, and the next thing I knew, I was on a flight from my home in Vancouver to Toronto, where Mom lived.
*****
I was travelling alone, and the flight attendants looked after me as best they could. They gave me chocolate milk and crayons to colour with and showed me how to select a Disney movie for myself. I watched Aladdin and then fell asleep with Winky in my arms. And when I woke up, the flight was over. One of the flight attendants helped me out of the plane where I was met by an escort, who took me to get my luggage and everything, and then to my mother.
I knew her the minute I laid eyes on her. Ia��d never seen a picture, but it was like looking at an older version of myself. I had her face, the same colour hair, the same pale complexion, the same dark eyes.
I knew she recognized me too, because she walked towards me, and then stopped. a�?Angelina,a�? she whispered. a�?My baby.a�?
I didna��t know what I was supposed to do, so we just stood there awkwardly for a moment, and then I went to her and hugged her. She hugged me back, and then, trusting child that I was, I took her hand. I immediately felt safe with my mother, and I knew that shea��d protect me above all else. As we walked to the taxi that would take us to my new home, no words passed between us. None were needed. We understood each other perfectly already. I knew how awkward my mother felt, and she realized how scared I was. But in that one minute, we made an unspoken agreement to do the best we could to put the other at ease.
I climbed into the backseat of the cab next to Mom, squeezing Winky tight.
Mom turned to look at me and noticed the bear. a�?You still have Winky!a�? she exclaimed, a delighted smile forming on
a�?Daddy,a�? I whispered, half asleep in the backseat of our Jeep. a�?If you could have one wish in the world, what would it be?a�?
a�?Hmm, Angel,a�? he said, stroking his chin. a�?Thata��s a tough one. I dona��t know. We have a long drive ahead of us. Sleep now, and Ia��ll have an answer for you when you wake up.a�?
a�?Okay,a�? I murmured, then added, a�?Daddy?a�?
a�?Yes?a�?
a�?I love you.a�?
a�?Love you too, sweetheart,a�? my father said.
I drifted off to sleep clutching my teddy bear, Winky, in my arms.

It was then that I realized something. Daddy had never answered my question.
I began to sob, hysterical sobs that shook my whole body. a�?Daddy,a�? I whimpered, hugging Winky tight.
Then suddenly I was very angry. I had Winky, but I didna��t want him. I wanted my father. I threw my teddy bear to the floor, mad at Winky for letting this happen. Then I stubbornly turned my face to the window and stared out. I watched the stars for a couple minutes, and then turned around and picked up my bear. After all, it wasna��t his fault.

When we got to the station, a policewoman took me aside. She gave me a lollipop and told me what had happened: my father had died, and now she needed to know what to do with me. She asked me how old I was, and I held up six fingers. She smiled and asked me if I had any other relatives. a�?Mom,a�? I told her.
a�?Wherea��s Mom?a�? she asked me, but I didna��t know. Other girls had mothers; I had none. Of course, I knew I must have had one somewhere, but she didna��t play an active role in my life. Daddy talked about her sometimes, but I didna��t really care. I usually changed the subject, because she was unimportant to me. All I knew was that when she and Daddy separated when I was a baby, he took me and I never saw her again.
Then I remembered something. A tattered piece of paper with my mothera��s phone number and address on it, taped to our fridge at home. I dona��t know why it was there, but it was. Maybe Daddy called and talked to Mom sometimes, but I never took much notice.
I told this to the policewoman, and she asked me a bunch of other questions. Eyelids drooping, I answered as best as I could.
The next few hours were a blur to me. We went to my house and the policewoman saw Moma��s address and phone number, called her and made arrangements. I packed up my stuff, and the next thing I knew, I was on a flight from my home in Vancouver to Toronto, where Mom lived.

I was travelling alone, and the flight attendants looked after me as best they could. They gave me chocolate milk and crayons to colour with and showed me how to select a Disney movie for myself. I watched Aladdin and then fell asleep with Winky in my arms. And when I woke up, the flight was over. One of the flight attendants helped me out of the plane where I was met by an escort, who took me to get my luggage and everything, and then to my mother.
I knew her the minute I laid eyes on her. Ia��d never seen a picture, but it was like looking at an older version of myself. I had her face, the same colour hair, the same pale complexion, the same dark eyes.
I knew she recognized me too, because she walked towards me, and then stopped. a�?Angelina,a�? she whispered. a�?My baby.a�?
I didna��t know what I was supposed to do, so we just stood there awkwardly for a moment, and then I went to her and hugged her. She hugged me back, and then, trusting child that I was, I took her hand. I immediately felt safe with my mother, and I knew that shea��d protect me above all else. As we walked to the taxi that would take us to my new home, no words passed between us. None were needed. We understood each other perfectly already. I knew how awkward my mother felt, and she realized how scared I was. But in that one minute, we made an unspoken agreement to do the best we could to put the other at ease.
I climbed into the backseat of the cab next to Mom, squeezing Winky tight.
Mom turned to look at me and noticed the bear. a�?You still have Winky!a�? she exclaimed, a delighted smile forming on
Mom turned to look at me and noticed the bear. a�?You still have Winky!a�? she exclaimed, a delighted smile forming on her face as if Christmas had come early for her.
I nodded, and hugged Winky tighter. No one was allowed to touch my teddy, not even her.
Three ago, I had a brief relationship with a man I really liked. He didnt want anything serious and he then left to work overseas, while he was away I found out I was pregnant and it was his.
I had no way of contacting him but he came home when she was 8 months old. Hes delighted to be a father and sees our daughter every day. i think he was swept away by the whole bing a daddy thing and not long after he came home, he asked for us to try again at a relatiosnhip. It was very short lived with alot of pressure on both of us to be a couple when really we were getting to know each other and didnt want to rush. A few things happened and we called the relationship quits.
Since then we have remained very close friends and he also looks after my older daughter while Im at work. He would then sit with me when the kids have gone to bed, and watch a movie or have a chat. The thing is, I think Im in love with him now, Im much more relaxed that the pressure of being "a couple" off us.
We spend so much time together openly, we go for lunches, if were socialising together we end up together in bed where he holds me in his arms, tells me he loves me and kisses my forehead.
Our daughter is 2 and a half now, and people keep asking us why we arent together, or just presume we are together and Im not sure what to do.
Im just TOO AFRAID of rejection again or makin things weird for him and our daughter. Does he wants me? I think he is the one and I really do love him, how do I find out what he wants without ruining what we have now?
