Just found out she already filed

So about the conversation with your daughter...absolutely smart to be at least learning how to talk to your daughter (I will need to do the same for my son) because this stuff isn't easy as FM put it.

I also think it's important to figure out why she didn't like going camping with you--because chances are she DOES but there is ONE THING she doesn't like (you know how kids are!). So it would be good to be able to pinpoint that and then teach her how to let you know. Instead of saying "I don't like camping with daddy" (which IS rude to say, btw! even if she is an innocent beautiful 6 year old with divorced parents!)"Say something you do like and something you don't like. "I like roasting marshmallows and singing songs with you Daddy! But I don't like hiking."

Ok am not going to stay on this any longer! We can always go back (my friend C does) and revisit topics with our kids if we don't like how we handled it the first time, you know? DO OVERS ARE ALLOWED in life!
