I'm having a rough day today and just need somewhere to get all these thoughts out. Even if no one has any advice or wants to comment, that's fine...I just feel like I need a shoulder today just for someone to listen. My problems aren't any different than any others, but I guess combined with the PMS lol I'm just having one of those days with a gazillion thoughts floating in my mind that won't give up.

I have posted numerous times about how I'm disengaged from the BF's kids. I don't live with them, but I used to take much more of an interest than I do now. I used to cook and bake with them, do crafts, all of us go out together, talk with them, etc. however when BF started shoving them down my throat coupled with the fact that he babied them, I stepped back.

No, he hasn't died literally, but I guess I could say that the person he used to be and the person that I fell in love with died and I'm really missing him.

I know people always say that kids are not mini-adults and should be treated as kids, but I recently had a realization that I always treated my DD (nearly 21) as a mini adult when she is growing up and I much prefer kids that way. I know it definitely comes down to parenting styles, but I think everyone would always be much happier if kids nowadays were raised and treated as if they were being prepared for growing up instead of the opposite of babying them because the parent doesn't want the kid to grow up.
