[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for all the feedback.  No, this isn't a troll post.  Not sure ho[b]w it is.  Yes, I'm still a SAHM because thankfully my husband is very successful so I don't need to work.

It does sadden me after all these years of my daughter being attached to me that she's starting to lean more toward her dad.  I'm not upset or angry.  It's just a feeling of 'awe, she used to do that with me' that's all.  You spent almost ten years with your child everyday...you get attached.

To reply to some of the posts: He does stay for every single practice and game.  He likes it.  I asked him why and for him it's a break from work (he doesn't even play with his phone).  He just enjoys watching her play.  He was a serious athlete back in the day. Almost made the Olympics in the late 90s.  He also likes to watch so he can help her with things she's struggling with during practice.  As for me, I thought about going back to work but it's too hard for me after being out of the marketplace for a decade.  Everyone has more experience than me, etc.

I was just wondering if this was normal for kids.  I know kids always lean toward one parent and me only have one kid I don't see it if I had more.  But, it does make me a little sad because she used to be so attached to me.  I've also heard about the high school years.  Some moms say it's going to be bad, some say not so much.  We'll find out.  Still have several years to go![/quote]

Women don't just work because our husbands are too poor 🙄 it also helps prevent boredom and using are children as substitutions for peer relationships.

You should use some of this time to get a hobby there's got to be something you have wanted to learn or try over the years. Start now. Soon she'll not be spending much time with either of you as she'll prefer friends etc. [/quote]
