Happy Mother's
I just wanted to wish you ALL a Happy Mother's Day, since I won't be able to post again for a few days. We are all Mother's, whether natural or step and we are all trying our best. Sometimes we don't get things right and sometimes we don't get the thanks we deserve. And you "posters" have been a blessing when I needed a good rant. Thank Moms!
I have found 'being myself' and speaking my mind lately (really, really staying calm when I discuss Skids with DH - man it's hard) BUT, it has made a big difference with DH.
Ever since the wedding last August of SD28 (where I was ever-so helpful and she was a Primadonna) and the default of a c-card loan by other SD29 we had to pay for, that DH and my relationship has improved. Like he has seen with eyes open, wow, his kids are ungrateful and he has really taken a harder stance with them. Maybe he's grown?? Have to say, things have been better.
Anyway, I haven't heard if Skids will be coming to visit on Mother's Day I know SS26 &wife won't living far way, but he will at least call). My BD20 is coming from college an hour away, even though I told her it was okay if she was busy, she could just call. She insisted on coming - love her!
It would make my day if it was just BD and no Skids - but I will be gracious no matter what the outcome is on Sunday. I look forward to Monday's posts for those who get beat up and mistreated on Sunday - cause let's be honest - it's gonna happen and we're here to support each other.
Happy Mother's Day All!! You are the best!
And you too.
And you too.
I guess I am finally getting
I guess I am finally getting it. My SDs are just my husband's children. I thought because we all lived together for so many years that by now we would have a fairly comfortable family. None of the kids get into any trouble. Other YSD than choosing to hate me for no good reason, everything is just peachy! Funny thing is, we used to enjoy spending time together a long time ago.
Today I enjoyed mother's day without a hidden heartache for the first time in a long time. Today I enjoyed my bios-now my onlies. They are more than enough. <3 In the past, even when I thought we all were getting along, my SDs barely mentioned Mother's Day. I was so hurt at first. I was doing the work their mother should have been doing. I didn't know then sometimes the nice you are, the more they resent it since it makes their own mother's behavior and/or lack of interest look even worse.
Anyway, no matter. I spent time today with my kids who I love, and imagine that-they even love me back. <3
