[QUOTE="witzend, post: 137962, member: 99"] Give her five minutes more, then go back out and tell her that what she said hurt your feelings. Tell her that you understand that she wants things she can't have sometimes. [i]You[/i] want things you can't have sometimes. It's only human. It's also only human for a 7 year old to pit single unemployed custodial mom against dad's pretty perky new girlfriend. It's not very nice, and you know it doesn't mean that she doesn't love you. That you're hurt doesn't mean that you don't love her. But you would prefer it if the next time she is feeling frustrated about things she can't have, she needs to remember that you are doing your best, you are also doing without, and life will be easier if we don't say things that hurt each other.
