Conflicting feelings...We need some time alone. - 12/30/08 02:17 AM
Hi I'm new here and so happy I found a forum for stepparents. I've been with my husband for 2 1/2 years now so being a step mom is new to me and I am adjusting to it. I have two children of my own. 10 and 5. My step dd's are 9 and 11 and I am also due in March with our first baby together. We get his dd's every weekend. 3 weeks in the summer and 3 weeks in the winter and sometimes during the week. Alternating every holiday. This NYE was suppose to be spent with their mother.
Apparently she now has plans and expects us to drop everything to have the kids. Normally I wouldn't mind because I want them around. We never get time alone and I was excited to have him all to myself NYE. I know I might sound selfish and maybe I am being selfish but it's one night. That' all. I'm upset our plans don't matter and for some reason her's are more important.
DO I really sound selfish? My children will be spending time with their father.
