Parenting... and being the step parent....

in #kids7 years ago

So before I get into this I am gonna say, I got the job. That is why I haven't posted anything. Just letting all my followers know why it has taken me a couple days to have a new post.

Ok, so you are probably wondering what is going on. Today is one of those days that I hate being a step parent. When I got home from work, the little ran up with this paper about the father daughter dance. I know you are probably thinking, your a mom not a dad so whats the point. My point is that the little didn't even think to say, hey mom since you have been there all the time and have been here for me would you like to go with me. But she didn't and is insisting that her bio dad take her. It wouldn't bother me but he is the part time parent. He is only a parent when it is convenient for him. He doesn't call or write. The little doesn't see that tho. When he see's her he buys her stuff and that makes him the best dad ever. Plus in the end, he possibly won't come and my wife and I will have to hear her cry and be upset. Yet we are still the evil ones. She is told that we keep her from him but that is not the case. He could call her anytime or come see her and he choses not too. But we are still the bad guys.

Let me go back to when I met my wife, which was almost 6 years ago. Before we met he had only seen her like 3 times in 3 years. When we met til now he has come and seen her 2 times in 6 years. His mother has seen her 2 or 3 times a year for 6 years. She comes to almost every birthday and she asks for a month in the summer. She is awesome. We have had our problems but she is still an awesome grandma. She trys and I have a lot of respect for her in that aspect. So now that you see the big picture you may or may not understand why my feelings are hurt. No, I am not mad but I am hurt. Will I say anything? No, because I some what understand. I know what its like to want a parent and not understand why I can't see them or why they don't wanna see me. Its just hard and I will get over it but it hurts right now.

Well thats all for today. If you have had similar experiences leave a note on how you handled it. Any comments you have please leave it.
