I am a 22 year old male.. names Derrick and first of all i'm new to MyLot so howdy.. and if you aint figured it out i'm from texas. i do have two daughters Eliza who is close to 2 years old.. and Danielle (( the one this is about )) who is 7 months.. well okay here is the thing.. Danielle has been very VERY crabby lately .. no signs of teething.. and took her to get check ups and nothing wrong she just seems to want held ALL the time.. i myself just recently lost my job.. so i'm a stay at home dad (( i know a looser )) but their mom does work.. i kinda figure that danielle may want a mothers touch.. wich is her problem.. but for the most part i can't handle it much longer lol. she cries for HOURS on in.. every single day.. for the last 2 weeks no matter what i do she don't want me.. but when her mom comes home (( my wife )) she seems to calm down.. my wife don't even need to touch her or be near her.. she just becomes.. good -.-' any ideas whats going on with her and perhaps a way i can fix it sence at the moment i'm a stay at home dad.. and the plan is to get a job so that my wife don't have to work any more.. but i'm a computer tech.. and i live in a very small town.. not really easy to do -.-'

Hi Derrick!! Welcome to mylot. Your daughter may sense the upset you feel from being a stay at home dad. And no that does not make you a loser! I have 7 children and i have learned that they can sense when you are upset, or nervous, or tense. Try humming a happy tune while your wife is at work, even when the crying is really trying your nerves. It is hard, but you can do it. You could also try playing some music that is relaxing. I wish you the best, and Happy mylotting!!!

all you can really do is love her and keep trying , i understand that you lost your job and you are upset she can feel that to , she may miss her mom thats why she calms down , when she gets like that try taking her for a walk, that may help calm her down for a little while . also let me make this clear you are not a loser for being a stay at home father because thats the best job in the world sure it dont pay cash but you get something better out of it you get to spend time with your little girls and watch them grow up you cant put a price on that ,.
so just be there for her if you start to get upset from her yelling and crying walk away for a few min so you can calm down and then go back and try again let her know you are there for her and feel her pain , things will turn around , i have 4 children and my oldest son always wanted his father then i did what i just told you to do and after a little while he was fine , so dont get down on your self things will be okay.
