Temper Tantrum during exchange - suggestions?

08/31/07 09:45 AM

When SD7 comes over 50% of the time there is a screaming tantrum involved. BM has to take her to the door, and almost force her into dad’s house. BM is frustrated with her, DH doesn’t put up with it and he sends her to her room until she is finished crying, then she can come downstairs. Within 3-5 minutes, she is downstairs and as happy as can be, like nothing ever happened.

I will tell you she is a 100% mama’s girl. The 2 boys (5, 3) rarely give us trouble, and I am concerned that they are seeing her act this way and think it’s OK. To me, it is unacceptable that a 7 year old would throw this type of fit.

DH has asked her why she is so upset and her answer is always ‘I want to stay with mommy’. Only 2 occasions in the past has she been allowed to stay with BM, and that was because she was sick and DH and BM agreed that was best. So, I don’t think it’s a situation where she thinks she can get her way.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with this? It’s not like she doesn’t have fun at our house. She’s got friends in the neighborhood, we play games, I know she enjoys her time at her dads. But, if she had her way, she would always be with mom. Should DH take her to a counselor? Any books you can suggest with advice? Anything?
