how do i answer where's daddy question?

[biomom1437]

my daughter is 21 months she not asking about her dad at this point but i know she will at some point.  heres my delima i was only with her dad for two weeks and got preganant by surpise.  when i told the guy i was pregant he went around telling the neighboors that i was lieing and even after dna test proved he was the father he still tells people he's not.  i don't want to bad mouth my daughters father but what do i tell her when she start having question.

The truth.  Her father decided not to be around, and you'll explain better once she gets older.  You don't have to go in to detail.

Simple. You don't know. He doesn't know how lucky he is to have a beautiful daughter like her. Keep it brief and let her decide what to do with the information. For all you know that will satisfy her question. If she has more questions she'll ask. Don't try to address emotions she hasn't experienced.

Your father wasn't ready to be a daddy but we have a special family and lots of people that love you.

 Keep it simple for now. Even at 3.5, when the topic of "where's dad?" comes up, my daughter still says "he's at work." (no matter the time of day).

 I agree with the quote and I have told my daughter the same thing a/b her father. He's more of a sperm donar in my mind and hasnt done anything for her in the 4yrs of her life. Its sad but she's better off and def. has ALOT of people in her life who Love her!!!

I am going to tell my daughter that we could not work things out.  I have tried to allow him to be part but he definitely does not want to be part.  He moved 600 miles away.

ya that mite work.  sinse her dad denied her sinse b4 she was born and after she was born he wanted nothing to do with her.  then after she was born i found out he does drugs too.  so even if he had wanted to see her i would probable have gone to the courts to get he parental rights taken away.
