Stamford uses bussing so all schools look like the City as a whole. Just b/c you live in N Stamford does no mean all your classmates are from N Stamford. I toured Northeastern about 5 yrs ago and liked it, but I have heard others say it is overcrowded. There are also a series of Magnet schools, but not certain how that works. [ Reply | More

I think the father daughter relationship is extremely important. I think you should do everything possible to encourage a good one. If that means pushing her a little to stay with him, then that's what you should do. A father's love molds her expectations for future relationships. You want that to be as good as possible. I think giving him a little more time with her, and a routine for bedtime is a positive. Besides, it might be nice for you to have some free time to yourself [ Reply | More

I just don't see how sharing a bed in a cheap hotel furthers the father daughter relationship or shows her love, esp if it's something that she has said she does not want. It is important to have a stable home, and this idea that she's going to start spending weekends (because this will not be the first request) at some hotel...I don't think it's good. Even if it were his home...it's not like she grew up having him in the house so she does not miss seeing him in the AM...she needs one home where her stuff is and where she is comfortable AND a good relationship with her father. I'm sure that's do-able. [ Reply | More

Assuming he is a good dad and you trust him, I think this might be something to at least work towards. Do you have control issues? (Don't mean that in a mean way) Sometimes it can be hard to let go of control when our kids are going to stay with soemone else. Just something to think about.

I can understand why you would feel that way. I really can. I do sometimes and I'm not divorced! But - take a deep breath and think about this. Your DD needs her father. It's so very very important to her growth and development. Can you try to put aside your issues with him and let go a little? I'm sorry you have to work so hard. I'm sorry you are in a difficult position. But - at least he is trying and I assume up to date on child support etc? It could be worse. He could have just abandoned the family financially etc. Pbviously I don't know all the issues. I just know that an involved father is very very important. Maybe you could try short term therapy to help you work out some of these feelings? Or maybe you could get him to take her at times when you want/need some time alone etc. You sound like a great mother and your DD is lucky to have you [ Reply | More

If you only got to see your child 2-3 weekends a month wouldn't you want it to be as much time as possible? Maybe he wants to watch a movie, read her books and tuck her in.

My kids (15 and 12) adamantly do not want to go sleep at their father's house. Period. We see him often, things are very friendly. I told them I would not keep asking them about it, that they could tell me if they changed their minds. In the meantime, they could count on me to run interference for them. I feel like I am doing the right thing for them, and encourage the relationship in lots of other ways. I don't think they have to sleep there. So my advice to OP is to follow her daughter's bidding.

I would continue to encourage her, but don't press the issue. My niece is 5 and, even though she loves her grandparents and sees them often, she doesn't like spending the night away from her own bed and family. Would it be an option to allow him to stay at your house on occasion, so he can have those special times with her and she can get used to his routine of things? She's in the comfort of her usual surroundings, and can focus on enjoying the time with him. But again, I'm not sure how comfortable you would be with this idea. I think you're doing the right thing respecting her wishes and not forcing her into a situation she's uncomfortable with. In time, she'll be more receptive to the idea and probably get excited about it. She's still very young. [ Reply | More

This is so messed up. You are characterizing it a certain way by calling it a "cheap hotel" and "sleeping in his bed".... issues? Your dd is not a wench he picked up at the bar- its his daughter! He obviously lives too far away to not require getting a hotel, (as in, he lives farther away than a practical day trip) it is probably expensive for him to make the trip. So he can't afford a super nice hotel and wants to spend as much time with his daughter as he can since he traveled there and got a hotel just to see her. [ Reply | More

He lives too far away to go see her just for the day, and has to get a hotel. If he has to make the trip every time he wants to see her, then that gets expensive. You are being judgemental calling it a "cheap hotel" as if he is picking up a date at a bar, he is just a guy trying to see his daughter for the most time he can after making a trip specifically to see her. So he can't afford a very expensive hotel... do you ever take her to see him so she could stay at his house instead? I doubt it. [ Reply | More

I don't think there are any that fit that description. Greenwich/Cos Cob are probably the closest and the best, but they aren't cheap [ Reply | More

[ - ] I need advice. My 18 mo DD developed a white patch on her thigh when she was an infant. Couple of months ago, I noticed that she has white spots on her face and decided to take her to highly reputed pediatric dermatologist. I was braced for the diagnosis of vitiligo. However, he said that white spots on her face are fungal and white patch on her thigh is a birthmark. Cream that he prescribed did not work and I still think that she vitiligo. What do you think I should do? 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

quadritto. I should say that I have a weird white spot on my leg that seems to have gotten a little bigger over the years, but the dr. says is not vitiligo -- which I swore it had to be. Good luck. [ Reply | More

I don't know if she is a reknowned expert, but we have used Maria Garzon for pediatric derm issues, and she is nice. [ Reply | More

Dr. Garzon is well respected -- we just saw her and she was very nice. I also like Dr. Seth Orlow at NYU, though we did not consult for that. However, huge wait at both offices so book early or bring a lot of toys! [ Reply | More
