Preferring daddy's family over ours

[rylienevaeh]

 My daughter Rylie seems to prefer her dad's house and his girlfriend's kids more than our home and her little sister. Her dad only takes her one night a week to stay out of court, Rylie watches their newborn baby Paege by herself all the time while they lock themselves in their bedroom for hours on end, his gf's sons are mean to Rylie and actually break every toy she owns, even her brand new Nintendo DS she got for Christmas and she STILL would rather be there than home! She doesn't even really have any chores here or anything! She has a sister that loves to play barbies with her and completely idolizes her and she never mentions the baby I am pregnant with right now. It's as if our home is just like a daycare for her or something. HELP!!!!

I wonder if thiers not more to it. Like : She dosen't want spghetti for diner. She throws a fit until she gets a hot dog with fries. As for at home she can throw any fit she wants and she's not going to get what she wants.  Hope that helps out some.

Also it's something different. I can't imagine my moms house being more fun than mine.  My kids hardly have any toys there and they don't have as many tasty treats either.  My mom runs an extremely clean and strict household. Still my  children love it there and cry when they leave. I think sometimes all it takes is a change of environment to excite them.  I'm sure she doesn't prefer to be there though.

 Thanks girls, she does actually say she would rather live there than at my house. :( It makes me sad knowing he beats me out and he has been the one that has never cared and used her to his advantage since she's been born. It's killing me and I hope it's just that she gets away with murder over there(since he's never around and doesn't pay attention to her when he is there) and she will grow out of it.
