My post may not be for the squeamish, so feel free to skip over!

This is somewhat off-topic, but I thought I would throw this out there to see if this is common place now, or weird. I took SD6 to a musical over the weekend. During the intermission, we picked up a drink and dessert for her, and we were both sitting there. A girl she knew from her class at school had been in the same row as us, and ran up to say hi. She was also with another girl who SD6 did not know. The mother of the girl in her class comes up and says “hi” and then tells both the girls “ok, I have to go somewhere for a few minutes, so stay right here with her (me).

I feel like issuing an ultimatum. I'm not willing to keep going on with the way things are. I feel like I have all of the obligations of being a mother without any of the privileges. And I can't live like that.

I am okay with playing one of two different roles. I would be ok with just being the girlfriend. I do whatever I want to do, and he parents. He takes full responsibility as a single parent to be fully responsible for everything, and I will support what he says. Fine by me.

I got a text from SO on my lunch break about how there would be pizza after work. Then another after that that said "But Grandma’s coming". That means his mother will be there. So I ask for clarification, and he says he’s fixing his mom and stepdad’s car, and so they will be coming over and bringing pizza.
