My daughter is happy at my house but cries when I pick her up from her mum
DEAR DEIDRE: MY daughter is happy at my house but cries when I pick her up from her mum.
I wonder if I am doing the right thing in making her come. She is four.
I am 33 and left when she was a baby but try to help her mum, although she has been awkward since I started living with my partner and her two-year-old son.
My daughter comes for tea once a week and stays over every other weekend.
She has a great time but when I collect her says she hates coming – and my girlfriend’s son.
