single mom question.. please any advise?

My daughters father isnt in her life.. He left when I was preg. Hes not paying child support though.

My daughter is exactly the opposite though.

I live with a friend, she has 3 kids, all girls. No guys in the house at all.

My daughter is absolutely scared of guys. When we go out and Im hanging out with some of my guy friends, she'll smile shyly, but if they try to hold her she'll just start crying. It was the same way with her grandpa. My daughter loved her Nana (my step mom) right away, but it took soooo long for her to get use to my dad. Even now she still pouts when he comes near.

But I doubt your daughter even realizes that he father is not around. Given hes never been in her life at all.

I think she may just be a sweet, loving little girl, which is never a bad thing. It just seems like she can attach herself to people easily.

I don't think there really is anything you can do. Make sure you're giving your daughter lots of attention. but that's really all you can do. I certainly wouldn't you to take this to the extreme where you get married to someone you don't know well just so she can have a father figure. And if he's not interested in being in her life, she's not going to get much from him by visiting. Just do the best you can on your own.

I seriously doubt your daughter is missing her father-- she doesn't even know he exists. As for her wanting to be held by men is concerned, what is she like around women? There's no way to tell if she has a preference without comparing her behavior around the same number of women. Maybe the guys play with her more, particularly what she enjoys doing.

You need to tell her that people go bye-bye and she can see them later.

I can tell you from experience that you are lucky her father wants nothing to do with her. All the decisions will be yours, with no interference from anyone. It makes life SO much easier.

i think of it is great which you have kin keen that may assist you. purely verify that in the time of asking for help from them you do no longer enable them to make all the ideas or have the main suitable say. Get some ideas and then bypass with what you sense. "maximum suitable mom Ever" is sturdy... kind call clothing are no longer a would desire to. additionally, each thing does not would desire to be kind new. I save at thrift shops like Salvation military and Goodwill for all my teenagers stuff and you'd be taken aback what proportion kind call clothing you will come across in very sturdy situation for a dollar or 2. storage sales will save you some funds, too. whilst Colic hits, you would be wanting to %. up some "Humphrey's # 3" that's a homeopathic (abode-therapy) drugs which will therapy abdomen aches, colic, teething discomfort, and assorted different issues toddlers be bothered by. It does not require a prescription, yet you do would desire to ask the pharmacist for it through fact they save it in the back of the counter. (i do no longer understand why) sturdy luck! Oh, and BTW: do no longer bypass to college of Phoenix on line. i'm attending there now, and am approximately to end through fact the cost outrageous, the learning are a shaggy dog tale, i'm no longer gaining information of something i did no longer already learn in intense college, and that i think like i'm getting ripped off! purely honest warning. assorted faculties are transforming into to be on the "on line education" bandwagon. verify along with your community colleges and notice in the event that they provide any degree classes on line. i'm approximately to bypass by way of my community college for nursing. they provide training on line, and you basically would desire to bypass to a authentic type as quickly as a week for clinicals. sturdy luck!

I don't think she is missing her father, she's too young to understand. I have 19 month old twins (a boy and a girl) and their father is in their lives everyday, yet my daughter loves men, my bothers and other men. I wouldn't worry.
