People Tell Me It's A Girl Thang

I still feel like I am new at this Mutha of girls thang. They are a completely different species. And I just don't get them sometimes. Little Miss S, for example, has been...how can I say it? Horrific? Dreadful? MMM... downright evil towards me? Yes, yes... that describes it perfectly.

How can such a cute little bundle of Guatemalan love be so bad? I don't know. But man, when she gets angry, she takes it out on me. What? You want an example? OK. It's time to take a nap and head upstairs. If I don't let her crawl up the stairs all by herself (maybe her diaper is full of crap OR we are behind schedule) she will try to scratch my eyes out. Yes, she goes for the face every time. Oh, you need another one? Let's say The Hubby has to go into the office and he puts her down and kisses her goodbye. She will get mad, start to scream, find me, and then start whaling all over my legs. Nice, huh? Wait little girl, aren't you mad at your father? Isn't he the one that just broke your heart? Isn't he the one that just kissed you and left you here with mean ol' Mommy?

It doesn't matter what he does. He is her world. He could be gone for two minutes or two hours, the moment he walks into the room it's, "DADDY!, I've missed you so much. Where have you been? Mommy doesn't love me like you do. You are the best daddy ever, and you are handsome and oh so smart. Did I mention that you look very handsome today, and you are the best hugger EVER! BTW Dad, don't tell Mommy I told you all this." Okay... she doesn't actually say this (she doesn't talk much).

BUT, I know she's thinking it!

Welcome to the world of Daddy's little girls... and to the world of "MY mommy is a horrible person.."... and I have to say it is a girl thing...

Thank goodness I am not alone... as soon as my daughter was able to express any emotion it has been of complete awe towards her father and "you're still here?" towards me. I guess I will be trying for the boy soon.... God have mercy on me if I get another girl... he he
