You are of course assuming that she is stupid, that she does not know enough to be coy about turning her kids against their fathers, not wanting to be blamed for the ended relationship later.
I am with most everyone else here....wise the **** up and learn, you are not doing your kid or you any favors with your ignorance.
@hawkeye10,
Dont post on here again with ur shite talk.. u probably have no kids ur self and u havent a clue..
@john74,
hawkeye has apparently got children and they are apparently doing well. I have seen him give decent parenting advice.
On the flip side, his views on women, and therefore relationships, could at best be called skewed.
He is right - you have really settle yourself down to learning more about children. It is two months since this thread started and you do not appear to have done any reading on two and three year olds. You don't appear to have spoken to any professional on the matter. You have simply got to do better.
Waiting for online people to provide you with resources just isn't enough.
Parenting is work and you have to learn about it. Get books, read online, join an online parenting forum if you can't/won't find a local one. You have got to work at this.

Quote:On the flip side, his views on women, and therefore relationships, could at best be called skewed.
Staying married for almost 30 years to a victim of childhood sexual abuse by her brother (and friends) , that went on for three years, was actually torture, he who killed himself 5 years after the abuse ended gives me some relationship cred.
My wife actually filed divorce papers on me and still I have been able to do my share to make this marriage work.
As has Glitter you too have misjudged me. At least unlike her you dont tend to be a bitch.
Meantime, from me,
I completely agree with ehBeth and have asked you, I think more than once, if you are looking into her advice, which was later my advice.
I agree with her re hawkeye, certainly re his women thing, but also agree with her that his 'you have to learn more about children's development' comments are useful.
Olivier is a parent and has much good sense - I don't disagree at all with anything he said in this thread.
My main take is that you don't really listen, which I can understand, we are just other people on a forum. But you keep coming back to the same thing, how unhappy you are. We have been trying to help.
I have a question or two - do you park far away? Has your ex wife ever walked you and your daughter out to the car so you can go have a nice time at (the park, the ice cream store, wherever..). I know there are other kids, but can't she leave them for a few minutes, as you say you do get along?
Will your daughter be going to pre-school? If not, why not?
I didn't go to preschool - and I only went to kindergarten for a few months, as we moved across the country. I entered first grade at five, a rather old five, and was one hell of a crying little girl and shy as all get out. I think pre-school can be a good thing.
Given your little toddler will go to pre-school, she will probably learn to loosen up and leave the house in a natural way. Maybe you could listen to Olivier and relax already.
Oh, and read, and look into a local parenting group or some online ones.
My daughter finally came with me for the first time on saturday.. lets hope it continues now. Im so so happy rite now...
@john74,
That's great, doesn't seem that long after all now.
Hey guys just said I will post back here to let ye know that my daughter flies out the door now when I go to collect her and we have the best time together. She was 3 a month ago.. Now sometimes when I'm taking her home she says she doesn't want to go she says she wants to stay longer.. Im a happy daddy nowππππ
@john74,
Yay! Reading that just made my day.
@maxdancona,
And she will be a daddy's girl.

How do you get a 2 1/2 year old kid to talk about their feelings? If she was 12 1/2 it would be different.
Play with the kid. Real, get down on the floor and pull out the dolls/action figures, and let the kid act something out.
@john74,
Sounds like she's going through the normal stages.
I hope you've managed to do some reading so you're not surprised when there are changes in her again.
She's a daddy's girl alright.. It was a hard few months.. But they are all forgotten about now.. Now I will make up the quality time I lost with her and spoil her a little. Just a littleππππ
@john74,
