I get the impression a lot of people sympathize with you but no one knows what to DO...
Watch the video, it should help
I get this impression, too. I haven't watched the video yet because I haven't had alone time yet. The joys of having a young child who is a night owl who hates naps. ;-)
I just had a convo with H I'd like feedback on. I'm back to asking for reassurances, but am I getting on track with the "script" idea here?
Here's the sitch: DD and I are home. H is at OW's house. DD starts crying and says she misses daddy and I know the quickest way to calm her down is get daddy on the phone. I can't stand to see DD suffer for H's idiocy, so I call him. He doesn't answer. I text with "call and talk to ur daughter". He calls right back and talks to DD. She immediately calms down and talks with him. I get on the phone:
ME: We'll probably go to bed soon because she's been emotional all afternoon and evening. (Note: H is feeling guilty he stays out so late that when I get her to bed early he can't see her till morning.)
H: She usually is when she is tired so get her to sleep and I'll see you guys tomorrow.
ME: She's also repeatedly stated she misses daddy. That is NOT due to being tired. (Note: I figured here that I could point out he was making excuses without stating the obvious.)
H:(attacking) Your problem has NOTHING to do with DD.
ME: I'm sorry you feel that way.
H: GOOD NIGHT. (disconnects)
So, how did I do here?
