The little witch! She doesn’t know who she’s dealing with
This week, my bio-Kid (13) had a dentist appointment. Because of work circumstances, her bio-dad couldn’t take her to the appointment as previously planned. So that I wouldn’t miss a day of work, I asked my SS if he could take her, and he said he was working but the GF wasn’t working and didn’t have class till 6 that night, so she “should” be able to take her.
I’m an adult step-kid too! Here’s the difference in how different situations are handled by different people:
My mother met my step-dad when I was in 3rd grade. He was 17 years older than her. His divorce was dragging on due to financial issues. While married he’d grown a very successful business, his soon to be ex-wife never worked a day in her life. Her home was paid for, her car was paid for, he paid out the eyeballs and walked away to live in a one bedroom apartment and from what I learned when I became an adult, she wanted more, more, more
His children were grown, the eldest was just a few years younger than my mom, the youngest was in her mid-twenties.
