Co-parenting can be difficult especially when more people start joining the picture.
But one mother has revealed how she was left feeling devastated after her daughter admitted that she loves her daddy more.
Taking to Mumsnet, the mother said that she just wanted to cry as she’s been doing all the hard work six days a week.
“I love you both, I just love daddy a bit more as he’s the best,” her daughter said.
“My six-year-old daughter said to me at bedtime and I just wanted to cry. I didn’t show it of course, but I was like, ‘really’? He hardly does anything with you.’”
The little girl’s dad, labeled as ‘Fun Bobby’ in the woman’s post, has their daughter for one weekday.
“She always wants to come home rather than having a sleepover at Daddy’s, but I literally do EVERYTHING for her,” she continued.
The mother said that she is her daughter’s playmate every day and that she make plans daily for her daughter.
“My ex does no parenting whatsoever at all but because he’s coco the clown part-time, she loves him more.
“I know I’m being pathetic and ridiculous. I know I am. I am sensible, stable and level-headed, but I just want to say to her (never would, I always agree with her how wonderful Daddy is) – ‘he does f all apart from walking round clapping and singing.’”
Fellow parents were quick to share their thoughts on the mother’s situation, with one person writing: “Next week she may love her teacher the best. It’s not a competition, she is a child, and I guarantee you she loves you more than all the moon and the stars.”
Another said: “She didn’t mean it, and your DD doesn’t mean it either. You’re her world. She doesn’t always realize it!”
