my son hates me....
I feel like my son hates me. He's 3 and about 3 weeks ago he started telling me he wants his daddy. Whom has visitation on the first, third and fifth weekend of every month. I was happy he wanted to see his daddy and that they're building a bond. But now he hates me. He tell me he doesn't like me and that he likes daddy, and that he doesn't like Mommy's house. All he talks about is his dad(which I don't mind) but I do mind him telling me how much he dislikes me. I love my son more than the world itself and I try to be the best I can be for him, but for some reason he just doesn't like me anymore. For example, we went to the zoo today and walked the entire zoo. And once we got in the car I asked if he had fun with Mommy and he said no. Then after he woke up from a nap on the ride home the first thing out of his mouth is that,"he can't see mommy and that he doesn't want mommy house" . I don't know what to Do. It's breaking my heart. No matter what I try and do for him(within reason) to make him like me, he just doesn't..... Is it just me or is it because hes a toddler? I read online that toddlers have a hard time being attached to more than one person. But my son LOVES his nanny, and grandma, and daddy. Everyone but me.... Sorry if the post is everywhere but I'm just at such a loss..
His father is a very abusive person. Both physically and mentally.. I've had numerous restraining orders on him protecting my son and myself. And after many many times of him violating those and going to jail numerous times. We finally went to family court and I fought for custody and he was awarded time with our son. So we get along ok on the surface but he literally scares the shat out of me otherwise. So our relationship is ok as of right now as long as he and I just act like the past never happened
I also agree with pp. How is your relationship with his dad? At his age, the things his daddy says about you would have a big impression on him. My little sister went through a similar stage around 3-4 when my dad was telling her things to make her feel ill to my mom... I hope that is not the case for your DS!! It is always awful when the parents use the kiddos against the other parent.
That could be. His dad wasn't involved for a while and I think he feels like making up for his time by giving my son everything he wants
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
I agree with the women here, I think its a phase and perhaps something dad is trying to convince him of, especially talking about not liking your house, that sounds like something being told to him. Just know he does love you and will get passed this keep your head up
