am i crazy to think this is wrong, she is soo into everyone being bf/gf and marriage, I know they show stuff like that with disney charaters and stuff, but anything we watch, or see she's like ohhh there boy friend girlfriend., ohhhh there getting married, when there is no such case. is this normal for her age? even her teacher says she's a little obsessed with who likes who and who likes her. Her birth mom says it's natural and she was like that...but she got pregnate in highschool droped out and slept with the whole town, i dont want that to happen to the little one, so i'm hopeing it is just a phase.

Lol well at least theres someone else out there going through the same thing as me. My 6 year old boy took all his allowance and bought a box of chocolates, candy and a card for a girl in his class. He also put a whole bunch of stickers on his card saying I LOVE YOU. He talks about marrying her and how much he likes her. You should think of this as a stage. Now it's time to have a talk about whats right and wrong between boys and girls. Not the sex talk either lol but make sure she knows that boys and girls don't kiss and touch at her age. She is probably seeing you and her dad together...and then theres her mom, so she might be alittle confused bout why who is with who in her life..all you can do is explain as clearly as you can. My boy knows that g/f and b/f are just really good friends. I think it is great that they are taking an interest in the love thing...at least they are not mad troubled children. Hope this helps

I think every child goes through a stage like that.
I wouldn't worry to much about it.
Just the other day I watched Full House and they portrayed her as a stary eyed little girl wanting to have a boyfriend and get married. She even had a little wedding ceremony and was heartbroken when she found out it wasn't a real one.
I really wouldn't look to much into it. When she asks questions, answer them the best way you can, but if she lives with her birth mom, then you could talk to her about how she wants you to answer any questions she asks, so that way you do not get into trouble for answering them in a "bad" way. I know how some parents can be about their children and what they want them told.

She has probably just begun to recognize romantic relationships like boy/girlfriends and marriage as something different than the parent/child and friendship relationships that she experiences in her own life. So, like all new and exciting things, she wants to apply these relationships to herself in some way.
She also may not fully grasp what it means to be in a romantic relationship. When my (much younger) brother was 5, he had two best friends that were girls. For months, he was convinced that he was going to marry both of them (at the same time!) - because they were his friends and his concept of a romantic relationship at the time was to be friends with a girl.
You might want to try to talk to her about the difference between being married and being someones friend, and that they are both important. It could take a few months to sink in, but she should eventually learn to value her family and friendship relationships, and to look forward to romantic relationships in the future.

She's discovered a facet of the adult world, that people naturally have boyfriends and girlfriends, they eventually get married, etc. This doesn't mean that she'll follow in every one of her birth mother's footsteps. Just wait it out, and it'll pass. My son had phases all through childhood that drove me nuts sometimes. He got over all of them, and has grown into a mature young man in high school. If you act as a responsible role model, I think your stepdaughter will do just fine.

Yes, you are crazy. She is 6. She talks about a boyfriend and then two seconds later she is calling somebody a doody head.
Relax. You are going to have many, many, many more things to worry about during her life. If you get two involved in these little ones, the big ones will kill you.

My daughter is 5 and she talks about that stuff also. She'll say I'm going to marry Luke when I'm grown up and Samantha sais that she is going to marry Luke. Dustin said he's going to marry me when I'm older, Luke is Samantha's boyfriend and so on and so forth. I think it's just a stage so don't stress

it's just a phase. i can remember back when i was that young. i already had a wedding dress made out of bed sheets and a vail made from a pillow case. young girls love to pretend they are adults. tea parties, playing mommy, dress up, etc... marraige is just another aspect of adulthood that fascinates her right now. children are very perceptive. there's nothing wrong with her thinking and talking about these things as long as you educate her about them as she grows.

relax, it is just a stage. she will get over it. and if you raise her right and teach her important values about herself and life she will not grow up to be like her birth mom. That seem to be you real reason for worry. trust in yourself, you are a great mom.

have you asked her "why" it is important?
try to get to the emotional "need" that she has tagged with bf/gf
