okay, i know this is stupid

this evening just as we were going to put the girls to bed, i was sitting on the sofa and marina was walking towards me with her arms out. dh didn't realize she was coming towards me and he was walking with ivana and CRASHED into marina. she totally got knocked over. she wasn't hurt, but she started to cry this shocked cry, it was so sad. she looked up at dh like, "why did you do that?" of course i ran to her and picked her up right away, dh was apologizing to her left and right. then she held her arms out and wanted dh to hold her. i figured she wanted to him to comfort her so she knows that he wasn't trying to hurt her. so i suggested we hang out in the living room with them a little longer to calm her down. i had ivana and marina was in dh's lap, and when i tried to lean in to kiss her (marina) she like shifted away and was looking at me out fo the corner of her eye. i kept trying to kiss her and play with her hair but she was just giving me a look. was she mad at ME? :cry:
i know it's dumb, but it's really bugging me. :blush:

 

Kids are just funny like that. Dont take it personal. My boys do this to me and their dad .. it doesnt bother ME but it DOES bother daddy.

 

Awwww! She's not mad at you! She's just a tired little girl. It's hard not to take it to heart!

 

Oh, I agree, try not to take it personal!! She's just wanting Daddy time. Marina is probably just reassuring herself that Daddy isn't mad at her and is showing her devotion to him.

 

:hug: I know it's upsetting now, but in the long run - it won't be an issue. They are going to play little games like that their whole lives! :hug:

 

dont' take it personally!! the girls do things like this all the time!

 

Sounds like a girl! Try not to talk it personally! Sometimes when my DD is hanging with Daddy I will just walk in the room and she will look at me and say "No no Mommy!" and give me a dirty look.

I figure it's payback for when I was a b*tch to my mom.

 

Aw :hug:. My girls do this sometimes too. Like when they both want daddy to carry them to bed and I'm like "Who wants mommy?" And they both yell "NO... DADDY!" I try not to take it personally since I get lots of love from them too (on their terms of course).

 

I have b/g and they do this - there are days that mommy could go take a flying leap and I don't think they'd care!

 

hard not to take it personal, I know. I don't think she was mad at you. More like she was trying to be soothed by dad and spend time with dad alone and you were interfereing with that. My kids will do that too, both ways. If dh or I are having "quality/special" time with a child and the other comes along and interrupts that time, they get upset. I think they want their uninterrupted time with each parent just as we want our ininterrupted time with them. Nothing personal. It's good that she has such a strong bond with dh that she wants that 1 on 1 time with him.
