So I have recently started dating and my oldest child is not HAPPY. Now if she were
10 I could understand, but she is 23 and has not lived at home for 3yrs. Heres what
happened, on Saturdays she takes her little sister (6) to a dance class they do
together. They love this time together. Well this sat. she says they are going to lunch \
with a family friend afterwards and will be back late. So my boyfriend and I take this
time to have the house to ours open a bottle of wine and have some fun. Just as
things are getting good I hear "Mommmmm we're back". There I sit but ass naked
sweat dripping off me shocked. I try to pull my self together and say I'll be right out.
When I emerge my oldest daughter is sitting on my sofa with her arms crossed.
Mad as hell. They didn't go to class just went to brunch.(how was is suppose to
know she changed plans) she lets me have it how dare I put her sister second
and have him over knowing she could walk in. She ranted and raved for
around ten minutes told me I always put men ahead of her and now I am doing the
same thing to her sister. I got divorced in1991 when she was 8 and had only 1
longterm relationship that resulted in her little sister. She leaves slamming the door.
So now I'm angry. This child had everything... music lesson, she was on a traveling
basketball team, proms, she had it pretty good. Ididn't get to date alot because of her and her sisters activities. Now I"m Mommie Dearest and not raising her sister right. Did I
mention she dropped her laundry off before they left for class ALL of her whites.
It's now tues and she has not called come by. I guess when she's all out of socks
and underware she will come by. I am taking joy in walking past that
laundry basket full of clean whites. As a mom you take joy in all the little things.
