Not terrible at all. I couldn’t cope with a child in my house that often and I totally feel you on looking forward to when they grow up. The moody teenage years when they want nothing to do with you sounds like the best stage of having a childHe sees her twice a week, one of those is usually with her at our house and recently she’s started to sleep over every other weekend. Is it terrible that I struggle with this?!
This part is why we have so many messed up adults imo.Or is it that they just lack in some emotional area which makes them want what they think is unconditional love from children to somehow fix that?!
You’ve taken the words right off my keyboard here. In a word, yes. Bottom priority is maybe a bit much. But second priority, absolutely. I understand you’re hacked off and this won’t be what you want to hear, but he isn’t in the wrong for wanting time with his daughter. That’s part and parcel of getting involved with someone who has a young child. He IS in the wrong for agreeing to drop her off earlier and then rescinding it, he should have just said no in the first place. Don’t dwell on it now, enjoy your evening together when she’s been dropped off and good luck with the new job tomorrow.Apologies if I sound like a complete brat but I’m just realising that I am always going to be bottom priority in a relationship where a kid is involved aren’t I?! Not sure I can hack it tbh
What! At that age we would be folding pages of the Argos catalogue wanting Lego, Barbies (played with barbies until I was about 14 inI asked my sil what her kid's current interests are as I'm starting Christmas shopping. What she said for my nephew was absolutely shocking. He's just turned 9 and she said his "interests" are youtube (how is that an interest) and video games (call of duty).
My husband and I were horrified. She should be embarrassed saying those are his interests. Maybe I'm out of touch but he is way too young for COD.
So none of that was useful for gift buying in my opinion.
One of the best memories of my childhood was circling toys for Christmas in the Argos catalogueWhat! At that age we would be folding pages of the Argos catalogue wanting Lego, Barbies (played with barbies until I was about 14 insecret!) board games, puzzles etc not you tube!

They really haveI guess the times have changed
See if someone said something like that to me I would say I had to have a hysterectomy due to uterine cancer or something like that. And then say does that make me less of a woman.Chatting to my neighbour the other week and he told me you're not a woman until you have a child. I didn't know how to respond but it pissed me off.
There's more to life than having a baby and so many people have children when they shouldn't. It's choice and I wish people would mind their own damn business.
Does that mean men aren't men until they become fathers or does it only work for one sex?Chatting to my neighbour the other week and he told me you're not a woman until you have a child. I didn't know how to respond but it pissed me off.

That would piss me off too. I don't have so much of a problem with people asking if I have/want kids as long as they accept my answer first time and don't try to persuade me otherwise. I would feel very offended by that comment and I'm not sure how I would respond.Chatting to my neighbour the other week and he told me you're not a woman until you have a child.
