Is he jealous??
H says he thinks I'm too close to my sons. I've always been proud of the fact that my sons can talk to me about anything. My youngest will call or e-mail just to say hey and my oldest calls and asks my advice about the kids. Both call and simply want to talk. Neither one has a problem with giving me a hug and telling me they love me. They have never forgotten a birthday or mother's day. The only problem I see is that H and sd don't have that kind of relationship. The only time she talks to him is when she wants something. I think it's sweet that my boys watch over their little mom, they're both over 6ft and I'm barely 5'2". They think it's funny to pick me up and carry me around. I don't find it amusing but I guess it's payback. It's a shame that the only men in my life that adore me are my sons and not my husband.
I think he's totally jealous
"To Thine Own Self Be True" William Shakesphere
Yep. Jealous as can be. Funny thing-I think H is jealous of my youngest. Because we are very close-and he can't stand it when I say something to my son and he doesn't hear it...
Funny, tho. You'd think he'd watch himself more closely in his behavior when he knows my son is here. But he knew my bs was right here on Friday, witnessing the 50+ cruel phone calls.
Let 'em be jealous. He can have his darling console him.
My H has to be very careful
My H has to be very careful what he says to me around my boys. He knows they would rip his head off and not regret it at all. They're very protective of me. When he was in the hospital several years ago, his appendix ruptured and he nearly died, the only time sd called the hospital was to whine about a field trip at school. She did the same when I brought him home from the hospital. No "How are you or Are you feeling better" just whine whine whine. When I had out patient surgery done my sons cleaned, cooked, wouldn't let me left a finger. I may not have done anything great with my life but I've raised 2 fine young men who love and respect me. That's more than H has done.
Well he can't.............
keep treating her like the past things with her mother as an excuse. Sorry don't know what happened there but I guess thats why he is so protective of her.
She is old enough to realise her actions by now.
He will realise one day that she is not his little angel as he makes out. Maybe he does know but thinks he cannot turn his back.
Glad your boys stick up for you. Not saying that he should turn his back on his daughter but say firm with her.
You know why my dad has changed and realise I am not angel. When I first got pregnant while living with him. I never for one made out I was an angel it was him putting me high on pedal stall saying to me your better than your step-brother. I was scared to make an mistake.
He got such a shock I was not angel and trust me it made me feel like I didn't have to act like the quiet, shy girl anymore. Then again I am not a bad girl either just did stupid things.
Surely one day your sd with realise you was so good to her considering her actions and that you may not be her mother but you have been so good to her.
What i meant to say
that you can't keep making how u act now an exuse because of a bad past.
