I have a 10 yr. old girl ; lives with her mom .I call her every day and she say that she still doesn't know me
what should I do
Answer:
Do everything you can to be in your daughter's life. Don't stop calling/spending time with her or give up on her. She's probably not too happy with the living arrangements, so she feels you aren't there enough. My husband's parents divorced when he was really young... they let him decide where he wanted to live... he'd live with his Mom for a while, then with his Dad and step Mom for a while. He really was glad they did this- they made him number one, which I think all parents should do. My Mom however, has my younger brothers living with her, and my dad gets to see them every other weekend. It's so sad for my dad... and my yougest brother- who is 11 is having a really hard time with it still and it's been 2 yrs now. My mom also calls my dad an "unfit father" all the time too, but he's the greatest person I know! So I'm sure when my mom does that around my younger brother, it doesn't help him any.
I know it's probably hard for all of you, but put your daughter first. You are her father, and I'm sure she loves you very much. See if your ex will let your daughter decide who she wants to live with if you both are capable of it.
Goodluck.
ooo u must be kidding
keep it up, no matter what
Ask her mother if you can take her on a trip with your to disney or something... that may help.
she is only saying what her mum wants her to say..you should just keep in touch with her and carry on doing the things you do.
Its your daughter! How could you possibily feel like giving up? Try harder!
Just continue to be there for her. That is all you can do. Don't give up though. She does need you. She might just be giving you a hard time.
you can't give up on her. She needs you in her life. Maybe she can start living with you part time--every other weekend/holiday breaks from school? That will give both of you time to get to know each other better.
She is only 10. As she gets older she will want your influence in her life more. Don't give up now. Do whatever it takes to be a big part of her life.
Is it possible that her mother is influencing the daughter's opinion of you? Have a frank and honest conversation with your daughter and answer any questions she may have about why you and her mother divorced/broke up. Your daughter may be confused and feeling torn in two directions. Communicate with her.
DO NOT GIVE UP! ae you on good turns with the mother? you may want to check that out see if she'll let you have her more days... if she works try picking her up after school do things with her that she enjoys ask what she wants to do ask her about her day and tell her about yours call her everyday get to know her maybe thats the problem just don't give up that could be very bad for you both in the long run
Don't give up. Who ever said being a parent was easy never had kids.
How much time do you spend with her? If you are close by, there is no reason not to see her every weekend if you ask me.
I strongly suggest some quality time!
Sometimes doing things out of our ordinary day to day, lets us open up. Bring her places that you can talk, or go for a long drive to a fun destination, in the meanwhile have good conversations, or even get her to make up a questionaire of a variety of questions, and you have one as well for her, and ask back and forth, but be sure to make it fun!
