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.

Don't say that she is your adopted daughter... That seems so wrong.

This one pissed me off. The wife is a ******* bitch. It's okay of the mother does that but not that dad? Or it's okay for mothers to stare at their children while they are sleeping, just because they are so happy they have them. People find it peaceful watching their kids sleep. The fact that her dad was comforting her was not a big deal. When I was a little girl around 3 I would sit on my dads lap and watch movies and fall asleep. He would then carry me to my bed so I can sleep. That makes him a pervert?? If I was the guy It would have took all my control not to hit her.

I'm against what the wife did but how significant was it to tell us your daughter was adopted?

You did the right thing man. She doesn't understand parenting obviously. I'd advise counseling, but don't leave her. That'll hurt your daughter more than anything.
