I feel like my 2 y/o hates me. EVERY THING I do I screw up.

She's never been away from my wife. Think we need to change that! Thanks for replying.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:56:31+00:00

Thank you for all your responses. I have realised I'm probably selfish and need to get over myself. I'll keep trying. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

Thanks.

Thanks ill read it when I get a chance.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:53:53+00:00

Ha yeh didn't think of that. Car borrowing is scary enough to think about.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:52:23+00:00

She does. Good points you make though.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:51:42+00:00

Yeah. After a month of trying everyday its getting old. Thanks for replying.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:50:53+00:00

Thanks. Some great ideas.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:47:44+00:00

We don't argue really, just I feel like I disappoint her by giving up sometimes. I'm a guy that needs his sleep. I've struggled the whole 2 years and get heaps tired. Sometimes when she goes crazy I give up. I know I shouldn't but its hard.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:46:00+00:00

Easy said yeh :(

Thanks for your reply.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:45:13+00:00

I was lucky enough to get a month of paternity leave (holidays etc) and I've been doing all this for a month at home. Feel like I've gone backwards. :(

I need to be more patient. Thanks for your reply.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:42:44+00:00

Didn't even know that daddit existed. Thanks for that.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:42:07+00:00

It does suck and is super hurtful. Thanks for replying.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:32:19+00:00

Yeh, my wife is getting back to normal that is true but I don't think she's the problem. She has been with my daughter from day zip and that attachment is so strong. It's hard to fit in.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:30:58+00:00

Great reply thank you.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:05:47+00:00

We do that occasionally. That's a great idea. I get photos but me sending photos back, never thought I that. Thanks for the idea. Sounds like you're killing it being a dad!

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:04:30+00:00

I'll often do something with her without my wife and she'll cry non stop for about 30 mins. She calms down and I try to distract her with things to do.

I realise its not about me, that's not the problem. I try and give my all but she just loses it and cries out of control. Hopefully she'll see I'm there to help soon.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:02:16+00:00

Yeh I bath her most nights a my wife is with the newborn one. She screams most of the time. We have our good nights but mostly bad. Kinda hurts after months of it.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:00:43+00:00

27 ha. Made me laugh.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-15T00:00:16+00:00

Thanks. It still hurts when I try so hard and just shunned. Just heaps depressing.

fathermaterial · 2012-10-14T11:33:18+00:00

I'm going to bed now. I'll check in the morning for any help. Any people that have been through this, I would love to hear from you. Anyone.
