Posting here for traffic sorry.
So me and my two girls where sitting on my bed them watching YouTube. my 6yr old girl has just turned around out of the blue and said...... I love daddy better, he works and gets lots of money and u just want it all.......
Well talk about rip my heart out, I've done everything for my lil family, he his a good for nothing waste of space, he slates me 2 her every time he has our children. Has 4 take his money he gives me 50quid a week if he's in a good mood.
I feel like what's the point now, he has got in her head she's 6 ffs. This can't be normal for a 6yr old 2 say.
Sorry this is over the place I'm so upset.

Does he live with you or are you apart, this is stuff he is filling her head with, its cruel and very badly looked upon by courts and childrens services. She doesnt mean it, she needs lots of love and cuddles from you, parents should never take sides.

No we have been broken up for a Yr and a half. He is still very not over it, wants 2 know what I am doing etc, he gets so so jealous and this is where him speaking like this comes into play. I just wasn't expecting it we was all chilled out then she says that.

Kids don't realise the implications of what they hear or what they say - she is repeating something she's heard with no concept of what it means so please try not to take it to heart. She needs you to be the person who puts her first and shows her love and she will understand more as she gets older. Please don't let this comment make you think he's 'won' - you are doing your best and that's what she really needs.

I feel like a failure of a mum right now. How can my baby who I've brought up 99% by myself with his few hours on a Sunday which he rings or texts me constantly, how can she think that about me 😫😫

I know it's really tough, I've been in a very similar position, but please don't take it to heart. Children can say the most heart wrenching things without really knowing what they're saying. As she gets older, she'll know you were her constant x
