I have a 5 year old daughter, she is very wonderful and very smart. She knows where babies comes from and wants me to give her a baby brother or sister and as many times as I explain it to her that it isn't that easy the more she asks. Her father has a live-in girlfriend that has 3 girls, I thought that would help out and it has a little. When I tell my daughter that mommy doesn't even have a boyfriend she tells me well go get one then get married and have a baby. I have finally got it through her thick head that just because I am dating someone doesn't mean marriage and a baby. But, she still wants what I can't give her and I hate that. Her father doesn't see her that often(his choice) and she has said before that she will go and live with him so she will have a sister, I know that is just a 5 year old talking but it still hurts. He doesn't want her living with him. I will never tell her that. How do I get it through her head that it just isn't that easy?

There is no easy way to answer that quesstion. I am a single dad and i have a 9 and 10 year old. Their question is always why don't you just tell mommy that you love her and she will come back. Its hard to answer the tough questions that really bother our kids. Try to excplain to her that the three girls are not her fathers girls but are his girlfriends. Then tell her that God will give her a brother or sister when and if he thinks the time is right. that may help a bit also. God Luck and I know how you feel.
