kinda hurt my feelers a bit....
Bd6 had a softball game last nite, her BF doesnt do his normal Wednesday deal, he usually comes to get her on every other Thursday on his off weekends to get her for dinner. So last nite he(and his live in GF)(whom he did leave me for but Im not a psycho BM, I got over it and moved on too) came to Bd6 ball game and then took her to dinner after. I left when he got there.
Went home, took a nap, enjoyed some quiet time.
He drops BD6 off after dinner and she is all excited cuz she got me a Mothers day card, and wanted me to open it right away. I tried to get her to wait til Sunday but she was too excited.
So I openend it, and it was a cute musical card and I made a big deal about it and all... but....
BD had written on the inside "from BDs name TO Dads GFs name, scratched through that and then wrote Mom"
Now, what I figure happend is he had her get 2 cards(BD said she had got GF one too) and she had on her mind GFs name from just writing on her card so she just accidentally did it again.
BUT
Why get GF a mothers day card?
I had every intention of taking BD to get BF's GF a stepmothers day card next weekend when she goes to her dads even though technically shes not a sm but technically Im not either but I feel like one with all the goings on with my SO's kids. So I can relate to BD's dads GF and I try to be understanding
BUT
it did kinda hurt my little feelers

Lots of stepmoms here get
Lots of stepmoms here get their feelings hurt that they aren't recognized on Mother's Day, and since she does live with him...I can definitely see why Dad would pick up two cards. He probably didn't know you would take her to get one, and it was pretty nice of him to pick up one for your BD to give to you too. Your daughter probably just changed her mind about who she wanted to give which card to. Although I understand it would be tough to see her name on your card...it sounds like everyone had the best intentions in this situation so try not let it get to you.
Noooooo, she lives with me,
Noooooo, she lives with me, Sees dad eow
I think she meant his GF
I think she meant his GF lives with him....therefor most likely primarily taking care of your child for him EOW
Please correct me if I'm wrong though
Oh duh

Everyones relationships and
Everyones relationships and feelings about the ex are different. I dont know how your relationship is with your SKIDS BM but I ask you this...would you want a card from your SKIDS BM or from your husband in regards to your SKID? Maybe you wouldnt care...but I'm guessing your BD's FSM would rather have a card from your ex/her FDH acknowledging her role in his childs life, instead of from you...someone she presumabably is not the biggest fan of (because your his ex) even if you are civil and/or get along well. I'm sure thats why he got her a card on behlaf of his child. If you want to get her a card to acknowldge her role in your BD's life then that is great. Awesome of you and you definitely should...but dad should as well and the acknowledgement from dad is what FSM will really treasure. Good for him for doing it. (I wish my DH would!)
That makes sense. Yes I would
That makes sense. Yes I would want my skids dad to do it (or my skids if they were old enuff)
That wasnt my feelers hurt part though,
It was more the whole scratched her name out and put mom there instead....
which I know is sooooo stupid of me to be hurt by that , but I was.....
aww..it probably gave you the
aww..it probably gave you the feeling of an afterthought. I can see that. I'm 100% positive that was not the case though...just a matter of mixed up cards. She probably liked yours for you for a special reason!
You're her mommy! She was
You're her mommy! She was probably just excited to give EVERYONE a card........aren't most kids? And, she's 6, very easy for her to mess things like that up
