Thankyou so much needed to hear that 💓 I know she loves us both but hates the cross over I just hate seeing her so upset it's been near 3 yrs and seems to be getting worse just feel so bad for her xx
@Terri my daughter is 7 now and still gets upset sometimes. I split up with her dad when she was 7 months old so she’s never known any different but sometimes she still says she wants her dad to live with us. I suppose it’s a big thing for their little brains to understand
@Katie Most definitely that's what am struggling with I was thinking should she just have her always come back to me her dad can pick her up have tea take her the park but always comes home untill she understands but don't want to upset her time with her dad ether can I ask what you did when it comes to staying out ? Xxx
@Terri have you spoken to her dad to see if you can come up with a plan together as to what’s best for her? It’s so tough when they are getting upset. My daughter started sleeping her dads one night a week when she was about 14 months and then from about 2, she’s always stayed there Friday evening until Sunday evening
My daughter has gone through phases where sometimes she wants me and sometimes she wants her dad. When she was a lot younger, she’d cry when she got picked up but now she cries when she comes home. There’s times where she’s been absolutely fine with it all. I have no advice but from my experience, it will get better and I’ve always let my daughter make decisions and if we can accommodate them, we do. Also if it makes you feel any better, my daughter used to cry when she left me but 5 minutes later, she was always fine and settled with her dad
