Is it wrong to reeeeeeaaaaly dislike your mother? Does it set one up to be hated by their daughter someday? motherly karma kinda thing
( Read more... )
I sure hope there's no such thing as motherly karma. If so I'm going there right along with you. The preschool situation sucks, but you might want to wait and decide in the fall, if that's possible. I totally agree that family and money is a terrible combo.
She doesn't deserve any input on the way he is raised. She just needs to love him and respect you.
I can't relate to the financial thing though so I don't know. The only time I take anything from my mom is when she'll send like 40 bucks for my birthday or christmas. You know...gifts with no strings kind of things... I can imagine it would get nasty otherwise.
I think I am finally moving out of a space where my mother manipulates my feelings way too much. I don't know if we'll still be around in the fall, but in the meanwhile, we'd love to work out some playdates with Ari if you like, just for blips of time to yourself. Also, I highly recommend Trettin Drop-in Preschool at University Congregational church, summer hours are like 9:30 to 2:30 but you choose your drop-off and pick-up times and pay like $7 hour affter registration. It is supported by the church but secular and very supportive of the kids, diverse, etc. Most kids' parents are students at the U. My kids will be there some as well, and you *know* how cool they are....
I hear you... but it is new to me as it is my daughter's father's parents who tangle the purse strings over us. They even try to do the thing w/ the clothes. It is probably much easier for me as I don't mind (well I do mind but will do it anyway) standing my ground which results in a full out fight w/ them at times. It is harder when you (and Steph) are the kids.
I do worry a lot about the influence on Tyla though. She has way too much stuff from them.
