I haven’t really been spending much time or gave the attention my daughter needs.. she is 6 years old… I had my son 10 months ago and I feel like it all started maybe 12 months ago before he was born… I feel like such a horrible mom… she was gifted a necklace set to make like with beads and she just had it there on her bed and she is always usually so excited to do them and now she just didn’t do anything… I felt so guilty and like a bad mom I did her 2 necklaces and a bracelet so I can give to her when she wakes up.. and I’ll be talking to her if she ever wants me to do anything with her to just tell me.. but I feel so horrible 😭I feel like all the attention has been given to my son and to my husband… I’m always feeling so angry or sad for whatever reason that I just completely ignored her… and I’m thinking maybe that’s why she has been acting out sooo bad.. she doesn’t really listen to me or her dad. She always wants to be on our bed but her dad always says no her dad is always yelling at her (Step dad) and I can’t really tell him anything because he starts ignoring me so I just have to let him do his thing as a “dad”
