[quote=Anonymous]Do people really think a 5 year old who says I miss mommy or I wish mommy would pick me up to a father when mom is away on a business trip are actually cruel and conniving and mean bratty children? He isn't being mean to his mother. Op is the adult, she needs to be able to manage her feelings. If we can't expect an adult to manage feeling hurt, how do you expect a kid to manage his feelings of being hurt? You can't have higher expectations of a 5 year old than an adult. Kids sometimes miss one parent or the other or prefer one parent over the other and express it. Both dads AND MOMS need to be able to cope with that. The kid isn't saying I HATE YOU, he is saying he wished dad picked him up. I somehow don't think people who be berating the child if a dad was on here posting he was hurt his child preferred him mom picking him up as usual.[/quote]
