My daughter has a habit that I do not know where she picked up and dont how to respond. I call it a 'pity party' for herself. For example: If she wants to sit on my lap and I dont ask her to come sit by me she wont ask. Instead she will say things like " I guess i just wont sit by you mom if you dont want me to." I have never told her I dont want her to. Its like shes trying to get sympathy for no reason. SHes not abused or mistreated in any way but that is almost what it seems liek when she does this. Any suggestions??

Maybe she just likes the attention from mommy and i say give it to her! Later when she's all grown up and she is going to be doing her own thing your going to miss her "pity party" and giving attetion. ENJOY IT!

Im going to come back and see the responses to this question. I have a stepdaughter that will be 7 in May and she acts like this. She is center of attention from her father he puts our infant son and my daughter to the side when she is around. She will come and sit on his lap however if any one else sits next to him, he'll rub his belly {which she's seen me do} and she has done this since she was 3! There are times she will sit in a corner and cry and whine about things that happened a few months back at school and it drives me insane. I got to the point that I told her I didnt want to hear it and if she had to whine and cry she could go do it in her room. Anyhow I'll be back to see other peoples responses.

in specific circumstances people experience pity, yet attempt to no longer have a pity social gathering over it. Does that guy understand your son is autistic? if so, he's an ahole, if no longer, next time he (or somebody else) makes a remark like that, clarify to them that your baby is autistic & what it ability - some people do exactly no longer understand plenty approximately it. do no longer enable that remark hose down your parade, you have a right to experience so excited & satisfied approximately your sons success, he did a sturdy pastime, no count what somebody else thinks. do no longer enable your son see you get disillusioned, supply him determination, he's going to handle stuff like that with the aid of is existence (don't experience pity, those studies will make him more desirable), teach him a thank you to safeguard it by utilising being sturdy & no longer worrying what persons think of. as long as he's acquainted with & looks like he did nicely, that's what concerns. that's unfair to benefit him to "Cindy" they learn in yet differently and are clever at numerous issues. persons won't relize that, yet you do, so which you ought to learn the way plenty he's recuperating from the previous to now.

children have their phases that they go through. maybe she has a reason to feel just a bit more insecure than usual and having no telepathy, she conveys it the best way she knows how. after all love knows no bounds, right?
girls have their way of bonding with mom and boys have their way to bond with dad. and it all happens like clock work, although the first time is where it is all learned. with a second child, you might begin to recognize the cycle.

Ahh.. manipulative little buggers, aren't they?
My son does this all the time, drives me nuts.. they think they're so hard done by. It's totally normal, annoying, but normal.
I'm praying that he's going to grow out of it, i just explain to him that just because he's not sitting on top of me doesn't mean that I don't love him.
Good Luck to you.

next time she says something like that, go along with it and act like that IS what you really want...just to see how SHE reacts. She is obviously seeking attention and seems very talkative, so you can always try talking with her.

It is probably just a phase and she will overcome it, if not i would get help, like go to a shrink or someone who can tell you why she is doing this
