My DD will be 2 in October. She lives with me and my DH and her two brothers, but she spends one night with her bio dad each week. Bio dad doesn't have any other kids, and his entire house and backyard are full of toys and stuff for her. From what I've seen, he also lets her do whatever she wants when she's with him. She even acts like a totally different child when he's around, running around like a crazy child and acting very wild and hyper.
Ever since about a month ago, she has been crying when he brings her home or when I go to get her. She clings to him, tries to follow him out the door when he leaves our house, etc. For about an hour or two after he leaves or after I pick her up, she will start crying out of nowhere and say, "My daddy!" I've tried not to let it bother me, but it does. It makes me feel like a failure and like our relationship is suffering (even though it's not). I'm glad she loves her daddy and has fun with him, but I wish she was excited to come home and see me.
Really don't know what I'm trying to accomplish with this post. I guess I just needed to vent. She'll be coming home in about an hour and a half, and I know I'm going to be sad for the rest of the day after she cries for her daddy.
