Kearie, that was soooo last year. I don't discuss them this year. and now I bet that he gets crap for talking to Jameka about Dani ... and nothing will be said about her talking to Amber.

<42>I watched Dick try to get her to at least smile the other night and she just pouted and kept him dancing for her. Blech. I despise behavior like that.

It may or may not be years. Who knows? It's all a matter of how badly they want it. My youngest daughter is a lot like Danielle. She's 21. She is as stubborn as they come. But, she's getting great grades in college, works full time, supports herself. I've just finally realized, after butting heads with her for years, that she always chooses to learn stuff the hard way, unfortunately. For my own sanity, I have backed off and tell her I love her, support her and she needs to realize there are times I have to do my job--be her mom. It isn't a job she makes easy to do. My older one is the opposite (easy to deal with), but at least she works with me in our relationship with my younger daughter. We love her and we work hard at keeping an open relationship with her.

If only Dick and Daniele could have this conversation with each other INSTEAD of Amber and Jameka, maybe they could have an alliance, or something!

okay, so I want to start off by saying I hate both Dick AND Dani, but I can see Dani's side in this. IF Dick has never really been a dad to her, and he tries to pull this fake "dad concern" thing, I can see how she would not be receptive to it. yeah, she is a total brat, but I think I would be the same way if I father that I had resented my whole like for NOT being there, all of a sudden is lecturing me, and in front of a bunch of cameras.

Other than Jen, have any of the other hgs started to complain about the ongoing drama between Dick and Daniele? I'm surprised that it hasn't been a major issue in the house yet.

that's where we differ, Christiii, I don't see his dad concern as fake.

Neither do I, LT. I think Danielle says he's never been a father. It sounds like he's tried, but she wants no part of it. It takes a lot of energy to deal with a kid like Danielle.

I think she wants to tell him "dad, Im a grown woman now, I needed you when I was 10 and you werent there, ever, now Im grown and I can handle things my way" We all know she isnt a grown woman, but I think that is how she is feeling about him right now

Dick's concern about Daniele certainly doesn't look or sound fake to me.

Who ever said he wasn't a good dad? Who?? Did you hear that from his son, or his daughter?? He said he let them live with his parents because he was a single father and couldn't care for them by himself..Who said she has resented him ALL HER LIFE?? I think a lot is read into their relationship that isn't there.

I think Dick cares a great deal for Dani. She isn't receptive to it. He is what he is, not the typical stereotype dad. One day she will realize that, but right now she gets too much attention playing the rifted relationship card.

This is a post by Dick's son... He always tried to be there for us and how often he could see us was limited by certain other selfish parties. There were only 2 points in my life that he hasn't lived close. When I was young he moved to Europe for about a year and even though he wanted us to come visit and offered to pay for everything, out grandparents wouldn't let us. The other time I was 9 and he lived in Hawaii for about a year. That time we got to go visit. Other than those two times he was always close (we lived with him on a couple of occasion too, for anyone that was unaware).

um Earth, Dani said he wasnt a dad at all, more like a mean friend. she has said that several times. Like I said, I am only going off of what they have said in the house, I dont know what their real relationship is, or what happened.

I bet Dick gave her too much and she thinks it's owed to her. She sounds like a spoiled brat who uses her dad's guilt for not being able to raise her. It's not like he left her ass on a stranger's doorstep. You have NO IDEA what his situation may have been during those years. So to assume that he was a rotten daddy unless you know that for a fact, isn't fair.
