By me. - 15/07/2009 08:02 - United States

Today, at 3:00 am, I sat with my 3 year-old daughter while she tried to go back to sleep. She'd had a nightmare, and I'd read that "not leaving" was the most important thing a father could do. My wife woke and called me a pervert for sitting there. FML

Hopefully she was just joking? And, I mean, it was 3am, she was probably out of it anyway. No worries, you did the right thing and it's good that you're not letting her come into your own bed when those things happen because then they'll do it all the time. That's how it was with my brothers, atleast.

If she's serious, then she's clearly not cut out for parenthood - certainly not adoption. She's your DAUGHTER, and the fact you adopted shouldn't make a difference - your wife should understand, and shouldn't even be able to CONSIDER that. You should leave her, both because she doesn't appreciate and understand you AT ALL, and because she clearly doesn't feel the same way as you do about the adoption.

This wouldnt be an issue if it was her watching the child, what trust issues does she have exactly?

Probably it was a joke. If not, please save yourself a lot of trouble and move on.

**** your wife, I hope for her sake she was kidding. Although you could just as easily explain it to her. If she's really that rude, move on like #158 said.

I'd like to know when it started that the minute a man has a daughter he becomes a pedophile. This attitude makes me ill and is extremely prevalent on this website.

That's unfortunate. I used to get nightmares all the time, and luckily my parents let me wiggle in between them in their bed (back before they hated each other and divorced) and it was deeply comforting to be beside my guardians when I was scared. I hope your wife learns that you did the right thing, and that motherhood will be something she'll come to understand.

Well, I completely disagree with your wife. You were being a great father, adopted or not. So, whatever she says, **** her! And all the people that said 'YDI', what the ******* HELL?! How the hell does he deserve it? He was being a good dad! Any woman would be LUCKY to have a man like the OP to be the father of their children!!!
