Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 , Unfortunately, they sometimes associate us with the icky hospital stuff. She'll get over it, I'm sure. Kennedy punched me right in the face before a surgery a couple of years ago on the way to the O.R. But she still wanted me to go in with her. I'm sure things will improve. Give her a hug from us!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 , glad Meggie is getting on with her healing. And as for your healing ego--not to worry, she will be Mummy's girl again soon. In the meantime, take advantage of the Daddy's girl thing--if she wants only him, he might just have to change the diapers, feedings, etc, smile!!! pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 - I'm sorry for your left-out mommy heart. I remember when was 2-yrs-old finally decided Dad was awesome and quit needing me only and always. I actually rejoiced! But, you know, Aubrie will take Dad at times and that's lovely, but I know I'm the one for all the big stuff. I think it'd be hard for me if she turned to him during those times. I can imagine your mixed feelings. It warms your heart to see the man you love and the child you love having such a strong bond - but then there's the part of you that wants to scream, " But I'm the Mom! " I know the grown woman in you will get through it just fine. If it lasts too long, will be pulling his hair out and you will be rejoicing and snickering. I have visions of you eating bon-bons on the couch relaxing with and as Meagan chases a bleary-eyed through the house :-) I hope Meagan continues to heal well, that her pain subsides soon, and that her development and growth take off.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 , I must relate a story about and surgery. Years ago, I no longer remember what she had to have done, she became furious at me and also at a nurse. Her ped just chuckled as she embraced him and her father and commented that in his practice, kids always thought mothers and nurses were the evil doers. This struck me as absurd since Andy was usually the one to help hold her down! Don't worry, your little one will come back to you soon.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 , It's nice to read that is doing better. About the daddy thing, take it while you can. It'll change and go back and forth. Enjoy the ride right now. It doesn't mean she loves anyone more. It just means right now your husband is more calming. Patty used to love to bits, still does, and I learned quickly that the vibration of his voice, chest and the sensory input from his was different from me. And that's OK. It was especially OK during preparation of dinner! Oh how I used to cook. Here's hoping you get those pounds back on and that she heals quickly.
