As a single parent, does anybody else's child prefer the other parent?
A little re-cap, I'm a mum to a 6 year old, and for years, my son has always prefered to be with his dad. He spends the weekends at his dads, and weekdays with me. I do the school runs, amongst other things throughout the week. My son is perfectly fine when i get him from school on Mondays after his dad drops him off, but now I'm facing a new issue. This started in the Easter holidays, my son didn't want to come home to me. It makes me feel sad, a lot. I feel like I'm not wanted by him. Anyway, he get's sad/upset a lot, cries so much. I usually just let him go back to his dads. I feel guilty for having him with me if he doesn't actually want to be here. Regardless of how I feel, I put his mental/emotional needs first, so he's at ease. As its holidays, his dad attempted to drop him off yesterday, our son was clearly upset/distraught. As soon as he came in the house, he opened the door and ran to his dad. My sons NEVER done this before. I felt defeated in that moment but didn't want to show my emotions. I just said to him, 'you can go with your dad, it's okay'. He left with his dad. It was heartbreaking to watch, and you can only imagine how I felt in that moment. I'm already on my own anyway, I don't have people around me.
Does anybody else go through things like this? It would be nice to hear from others. X
May your fasts be accepted on this blessed day of Arafat
Being a single parent is all about strength. The strength to show the world that you'll do whatever it takes to ensure your kids have everything they need.
A blessing is when someone dissapoints you early on so they don't waste your time.

I m sending this last sms.
I m looking for a life partner who is honest loyal and well off and want to do Nikah ASAP.
Not into friendship or talk for months what I like or what he want.
Marriage is a Right way to learn and live together.
Not everyone wants temporary love. Some of us still believe in deep conversations, genuine effort, loyalty and building something real with the right person 😊
