Hi america, I get the perfect daddy and mean mummy thing from my son too and yes it hurts. BUT! its easy being a part time parent with people watching over you at a contact centre, if he can find a situation under those circumstances where he has to be any less than good, fun dad then he needs to take a serious look at himself. Meanwhile at home we have to do the dirty deeds as well as the good ones, so we get to be the baddies at times. Even though its affecting you atm, remember its a good thing that dads so wonderful in her eyes, after all you wouldn't want her to have to face a father that is useless and have it be her thats hurting instead. Its all new and exciting to her atm but I can tell you from experience kids get bored of contact centres, they question why they need supervision and can't go to mcdonalds with dad, time will make her see things more realistically. Kids tend to lash out at the people they love and trust so don't take it personally.
