step child lives with us therefore I do all the school runs, random events, friends, parties and stay until it's over and  what ever  pick up dropp off you name it along with raising him since he no  longer lives with his mom ..

I told my partner I wish to not attend his school game over the simple reason that I don't get much time for myself on the weekends  i dont have anyone to watch him so he is with me  ...... now from time to time my partner may get the odd weekend off so i grab the opportunity but am seeing this like any other parent

"I  just need a break"
