what to do when... (long)

your daughter is going through her daddy phase and when you go to pick her up from there she acts like she doesn't want to go with me.... Its just mainly hard for me because I am sensitive and it makes me feel like I am not a good enough parent that she doesn't want to spend time with me. i know he does things like gives her ice cream and candy so of course she loves him and wants to spend time with him and I have rules here and she has to follow them. I feel like I can't be as strict because I just want my daughter to love me. I know I am being silly and I know she does love me I just want some advise on how to get through this phase. Yes I am 10 weeks pregnant so my emotions are extra sensitive, I have just always wanted to be the best mom ever and I want her to be excited to see me and not look disappointed, I think that is what kills me the most. My ex is angry with me because I am taking him court for child support but I have my reasons behind it, like he just cancelled her health insurance without telling me and never sends her over in shoes that fit her, finally after buying a few pairs of shoes within a couple months I just keep them here.... anyways sorry so long...

I haven't been in that situation yet, but it's just a phase that every child goes through. You just have to suck it up.

About the CS, I would be taking him to court also.

I know I have to suck it up and it sucks lol, just hard phase to deal with..... I can't wait until she is old enough to realize things, but until then I will just love her and not say mean things about her dad..... I am a better parent and that is what I have to remember.

Yes you have to remember that! One day she will realize it and thank you.
