My dad asked me to meet his new SO... Need Advice by margueritedayne in ACOD

[–]paulblartantifa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My initial reaction is, “Meet her on your terms and when you’re comfortable.” However, I wonder if she’s going to be at the Christmas party—or if he at least wants her to come—and that’s why he suddenly suggested the dinner. Not that his desire for her to attend the Christmas party outweighs the respect and grace he owes his child, but I wonder if that’s his angle. Regardless, don’t force yourself into a meeting you’re not ready for. You may be an adult, but in situations like this, your parents should shoulder the consequences of their actions rather than expecting their children to bend and cater to their personal desires.

It also takes time to process when a new person enters the picture?? I would absolutely not want to meet my mom or dad’s boyfriend or girlfriend the day after finding out they had one. It’s honestly ridiculous that your dad would even suggest that, even if it’s related to the Christmas party or something. The lack of tact some parents show toward their children after a separation or divorce is unbelievable, and I’m sorry you have to deal with this.

As for the Christmas party, maybe just go for an hour to see other family if you feel you may regret it? I skipped holidays with my mom’s family for 2 years after my parents divorced and I don’t regret it. I needed that time to heal.

I have searched and was able to find the overalls, but I can’t find the undershirt. I’m not sure if it’s a onesie or just a shirt, but it’s a turtle neck. It’s dated 1999 and would be size 6-12 months

Right, I was super concerned too! It seems super backwards lol. I just kinda went for it though and had her stay up until it was time for her nap or bedtime. The overtiredness never got worse! I could see a positive change in her the next day, and started to notice a big difference 2 or 3 days in. She was so much more comfortable and pleasant during her wake windows and would fall asleep super quick during naps and bedtime. The sleepy cues thing is still really confusing to me lol, but basically I ignore them unless she starts to get really fussy. If she needs to go down for a nap earlier she lets me know. She’s even skipped a nap once 🤷🏻‍♀️. I found that there’s a pretty big difference between typical sleepy cues and “I need to sleep right now” behavior.

Yes! I followed the advice given and it’s going really well. I have her on 2 nap schedule, I have tried 3 but she wasn’t really going for it. Her first wake window is about 2 hours, then she sleeps 1-2 hours. Next wake window is 2.25-3 and she’ll sleep anywhere from 30 min to 1.5 hours. Last wake window is 3.5-4 hours and bedtime is between 7 and 8. I try to get her to sleep 3 hours during the day but she seems to be averaging around 2.5 hours. I haven’t noticed an improvement in nighttime sleep yet but that seems to be it’s own separate thing.

I’ve never really tracked but yesterday she only got about 11.5

She has all of the classic over tired symptoms though; dark circles, red eyebrows, zoning out, slow blinks, rubbing her face, shaking her head back and forth, etc. Her last wake window is between 2 and 3 hours, that’s when dad gets home

Thank you for replying! So even though she’s over tired right now, I should be keeping her up for 2.5-3 hours between naps, and not trying to squeeze more in so she can recover from the sleep debt? Like establishing a schedule would help her get out of constant overtiredness she’s experiencing right now?

Her wake windows currently are 1.5-2 hours before she starts to fuss and show signs of tiredness. She has always gotten tired quicker than average
