So my SO has a 10 year old daughter and we just told her that we r having a baby boy.. she is not one bit happy about it... and she told me she hates the name... ik I shouldnt let it bother me but it kinda hurts a little... I've been trying to explain to her that since it's a boy by the time the kid is old enough to walk around and get into things she's going to be a teen and not want anything to do with the kid that much.. and I told her besides if I had a girl she would be all into your stuff and she told me a few weeks ago that she doesn't want the baby getting into her stuff so I'm confused why she would want a little girl.. idk what to do lol any advise moms?
I've heard of that happening also... I'll have to talk to her @mommy2benntley
Maybe someone else hit her and she is afraid to say who it actually is and that's why she said it was your husband that has happened before victims are afraid so they blame someone else
That's what I'm thinking I just can't figure out what has happened or what could be happening@mommy2benntley
Something must have happened and she is afraid to talk about it
That's what I told my man but her mom takes her to school but her mom doesn't want to deal with yhe tutors at school Cuz I guess when she did enroll her in with a tutor she always skipped and never showed up @mommy2benntley
Hum maybe a tutor will help with school
Yes and they said there wasn't anything... we r all just having no clue what to do with her anymore... @mommy2benntley
Have you tried getting her tested for imbalances
No she's pretty good with finishing something that she started but school so has alot of trouble concentrating and just doesn't do her hw @mommy2benntley
Does she fidget and have trouble concentrating or finishing a task
She makes them and then losses them Cuz she is to bossy... we have told her to stop being so damn bossy but she's not getting it.@mommy2benntley
Does she have friends or anything like that
She has no interest in playing anything @mommy2benntley
Hum that's rough does she play a sport that might help
We tried that we got nothing out of her @mommy2benntley
Yea I can already tell how much she is struggling but she's choosing not to listen to her mom, dad, or I so we have no clue what to do anymore@mommy2benntley
Yeah I think @patti28, is right that may help and if she doesnt have self structure she will really struggle
We don't have enough money for counseling sadly @patti28 and I hope when the baby comes she will have a while new perspective @ltsdiaries
She's 10... check back with her after the baby is here. She'll have a whole different perspective
@sammie20, maybe she needs counseling to see what's going on
And she's doing so bad in 5th grade now that the teachers r saying she has to repeat it.... @mommy2benntley
And what really sucks is that if she does live with us next year her dad's making her do homeschool which I won't be Able to help her Cuz I'll have the baby and my SO and her both don't understand how hard online schooling can be... but no they don't want to listen to someone who has been homeschooled all her life.. they will find out for themselves I guess lol @mommy2benntley
Yea well she lied about her dad hitting her and shit like that when ik that's false Cuz when she said it happened I was already dating and living with him so she's a pathological lier.. she doesn't understand that lying is bad and that she will be taken by the state if she pulls that again... and I don't think she knows that's she's even lying @mommy2benntley
Oh my my cousin had the cops at her school because she pretended our grandpa was a stranger
Yea that's what I thought but I guess she's been telling her dad she wants a baby sister for years now.. so Idk what's going on in that brain of hers lol. She lives with her mom on week days and then weekends with us so maybe that's why but now she want to come back and live with us... idk how I really feel about that Cuz she's a hand full at times... don't get me wrong I love her to death but she's got a lot of issues expecially with lying to the point where she's got the DCF coming to our house... @mommy2benntley
It's probably hitting her that she isn't going to be the only one

Her helmet she got so she can be safe (as she told me) when she rides her bike and scooter lol
FTM problems...
So I've made it pretty clear that I want to buy my daughter her fist Halloween costume. Her babysitter/nanny keeps saying she wanted to make her one. I told her yesterday that I wanted to find her something that my SO and I could dress up as a family. So I told her I am going to get it. She just text me and said 'not trying to step on your toes but I bought her two costumes'. She does this all the time. Anytime I want to do the "first" things with her she immediately does it. It...
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
Will your Mom be in the delivery room?
My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
3RD UPDATE: What would you do?
Ok, so we have these new neighbors they have been there renting the house 2 doors down for about 3 months or so. They have a 2 year old boy, he just turned two. They have asked me to babysit him on multiple occasions, just so happens I've been busy each time. In my mind, they don't know me or anything about me. Barely know my name and they want me to watch their kid because they see I have kids and stay home. Apparently they haven't had any luck with the babysitt...
Good luck
