Sorry hun but you are letting her rule the roost, believe me I know its hard but you and your daughter have to be the adults. You said yourself you give in and she knows that.
Once a medical problem has been ruled out you need to look at the way you handle things when she gets up during the night, do you talk to her? play with her? try and convince her to go back? No talking or interaction should take place just take her by the hand a lead her back to bed in silence, if she is getting attention from her behaviour she will keep it up. Had the same problen with my daughter when she was 3and I went back to work fulltime.
My Mam and Dad where married for 44yrs, doesnt mean either of them was happy though, I never remember a kind word being exchanged between them it was more a case of 'you have made your bed now lie in it'
Have only truly loved one man in my life, when I think of him it is the pain of losing him that I remember a pain so strong that I phsysically ached at times and struggled to breath. It took my 2 years to even begin to laugh again, so no for me it is not better to have loved and lost. I would rather not have loved than to have gone through that.
and I have spent half the night awake thinking about this one.....there is a song that says 'for its the laughter we will remember' well for me it isnt, its the pain so I have decided that NO it isnt better to have loved and lost, for if I hadnt loved I wouldnt have had the pain, so have decided stop looking for more pain and just stay here for the chat and fun I have on the forum.
I for one am not to sure that it was worth it to be honest, I have felt the euphoria of love and the joy of being loved and like most people the pain of losing that love. for me the pain is something I remember far more clearly than the love, and often wonder if I want to risk that again.
Well I did join in the hope of perhaps meeting a guy (no point saying otherwise lol) I have however really enjoyed chatting to guys and gals from different parts of the world and am very pleased to have made some good friends along the way, still waiting for the guy but having fun while I do
Absolutely Riya, Is is our comfort zone whether we realise it or not we are attracted to the familier like a never ending wheel, until something makes us see this and we make the decision to get off that wheel.
Sorry I dont agree that it is way to easy to get out of marriage, not here anyway were divorce is still relatively new, and you have to be seperated at least four years to get one. I stayed in my marriage for 14 years and tried everything I could to make it work.
Far better a single parent than parents who are unhappy together, my parents never had a kind word to say to each other and I lived in fear of there rows all threw my growing uo years..
I am now a single parent, I split when I realise my marriage was heading teh same way as my parents and I could see the efrfect it was having on my children.
We are a much happier family now without the rows and the tension and I feel I did the right thing for my children.
On the subject of men as single parents, I have a friend who has raised his daughter alone and she is a lovely young woman now.
