totally fed up!! :(
All SO ever goes on about is SS2 when he's here. EVERY SINGLE time SS says or does anything SO laughs and looks me, expecting me to respond in exactly the same way. I really don't care! He always comments like aww look SS is covered in pasta sauce, aww SS did this, aww SS did that - ummm yeah? And? He's 2... That's what 2yr olds do...
Ugh sick of it! Yes, I know. I CHOSE to be with this guy. But I really have NO interest in kids right now. Thankfully I leave for work at half 6am and get home between 6 and 8pm. But seriously, I'm tempted to stay late just to avoid him!
And yeah I know - I'm a horrible person, I should love a 2 yr old, why am I with the guy, yadda yadda yadda. Just fed up and it's been a long day.

DH and I have BS2. I tend to
DH and I have BS2. I tend to fawn over silly things he does and probably take way too many pictures. Now, DH enjoys BS2 etc, but not on the level that I do. DH just doesn't care so much for kids under the age of 5. I, on the other hand, am having a difficult time right now with skids who are 13 and 14 because I really can't stand about 99.99% of kids this age. They just bug me. DH on the other hand is great with kids this age.
I'm guessing this is your SO's first and only kid right now? I think that adds to the "excitement" of each and every milestone or even insignificant thing being something to talk about, be proud of etc. I think it will pass.
Yeah he's his first and only.
Yeah he's his first and only. Are you really as bad as him though? I mean literally EVERYTHING he does I get told about. Although thinking about it my mum and aunty used to be the same when my brother and cousin were younger.
It's good to know it's not just me though and that bio parents can be like that too. I don't mean to be rude to him about it but I'm knackered most days and just don't want a running commentary.
Although many of us have it
Although many of us have it tough, I have to say that with kids that young it must be really hard. I can't imagine how you are torn here, but honestly, the kid is 2. I understand you are not all excited about the kid, it's not your kid...period...thus honestly, I can't see why stay around. I mean, it is one thing to not be excited about every little thing a 10 yr old does, especially one that treats you like crap...but a 2yr old is still a baby...sorry, I think you need to move on.
Sorry but why would I be
Sorry but why would I be excited about every little thing he does? He's exactly the same as every other two year old... He's not my kid. Didn't say I didn't love him, just that I really don't care about every single thing he does...
Im with ya there, SO doesn't
Im with ya there, SO doesn't fawn over his kids very much but at times he does, and laughs and looks at me for my reaction, I just smile..I really don't care about anything they do, I don't find a lot of things kids do to be cute or funny..(animals on the other hand yes...). So usually I smile...and go about my business. Or if he says something SD5 did was funny or cute, I just nod and move on.
He doesn't take it personally he knows its how I am. He laughs and points out every thing my cats do though and thinks its cute..I get irritated by that. Obviously he has never had pets before.
I do the nod and smile thing
I do the nod and smile thing a lot. I don't normally mind so much. Yeah it gets tedious but hey he's his dad and they're only young once so I can tolerate it but tbh it's just been a really stressful week and I've had enough of it. I'm sure I'll be one of those parents if I ever have my own though lol
ETA just realised you said he does the same about the pets. God that would drive me insane! How on earth do you put up with it?
Lol. Don't get me wrong, I
Lol. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand that. But when I've been in work 12 hrs and I come home I could do without the minute by minute of his day.
Maybe I'd feel different if he was mine...
Like I said, it's just been one of those days.
yeah but thats normal...my
yeah but thats normal...my sister does the same thing.. I just dont like parents pushing that on others like me or the poster who thinks we should feel the same way about their kids that they do.
I remember when I was a cashier a long time ago and people thought letting their kids help me bag, or crawl all over the belt was very cute. It wasn't, it was annoying and slowed me down.
But I totally understand how a bio parent would think everything their kids do is cute and funny, and want to take a lot of pictures.
But its awkward when they expect others to feel the same way.
