[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry for the title.  He says “my mommy lives far away”.  I initially thought maybe I would remove gender but I think it’s relevant because kids are much more likely to comment on a missing mom than a missing dad.[/quote]

I usually don’t tell me kids what to say. Kids find their own ways to cope with social difficulties [/quote]

Which is what my daughter has done.  I don’t have a problem with her telling other people what works for her.  It’s the issue of her teaching him to say something he doesn’t understand and that isn’t true.  As I said, at 3 he can respond with a shrug, or “I have a Daddy” or something simple.  [/quote]

Dad, I love ya, but … you want to script a three year old?  Take your ego out of this [/quote]

Dear Child, when you hear the following key words “Mother; live; mommy; house; where mom; who mom.”  Do the following: 
1.  shrug your shoulders up and down 
2. Place both palms up wards with thumbs away from the centerline of your body 
3. Look the questioner in the eye  
3. Raise your eye brows slightly and smile 
4. Say the words, “I have a Daddy.”
5. Walk away from the conversation

done! are you from another controlling culture or are you slow with family matters?

Y'all would never be such jerks about this if it was a mommy asking.[/quote]
