Is this an odd father daughter dynamic?

Each year on my childrens' birthdays I ask them what I can do to be a better mother to them in the coming year. I've been told everything from "leave me alone more" to "play with me more when I ask" and I try to follow what each kid wants within reason. But they are ALWAYS within reason. If they said I could be a better mom by buying them a car and a trip to Paris with their ten closest friends, I'd laugh in their faces.


First of all, very funny. Um, I think it is more inline with the send me to Paris Daddy. My husband was appalled. He thinks our kids would tell him to back off if he did that. Recently one our kids called upset about losing something expensive. I said to let it go. Everyone makes mistakes and said I would replace it as a gift. Said child told me not to enable them.

I think this guy is very kind. He has two other children and does not do this for them or for my friend.


Your last paragraph doesn't make sense. It is quite UNKIND of him to spoil one of his kids but not the others. That, more than anything, is the weird part.
