Christmas

So, for the most part, I had a great Christmas, but it all came crashing down when my kids pulled out a homemade present they made for Daddy....:(  I mean, maybe it's a little petty but here's what I have noticed....u know i never complain about gifts, esp because since the separation, corey never took them out for me for my birthday, the kids never made anything for me.  I put it up to being busy with schoolwork, ya know?  But it was completely different for Corey, his birthday, they were all ready for making him stuff....i figured, birthday, whatever, ya know?well....the same happened for christmas....they made stuff for Corey, and nothing for me.  It just hurt a little, ya know?  It makes me doubt myself and what I am doing, and maybe that they don't love me...idk, it just is a sore subject for me I guess...I get that because he's the out of the house Daddy, he would get more....idk....

But the kids had a great time....they got almost everything they wanted for christmas :)

Sorry to hear that happened. But i am sure the kids love you.. It is a hard thing to accept not getting anything from the kids on x-mas but at least you got to spend x-mas with them. I am sure it will get better as the years go on. it may be hard on them yet with daddy out of the house.

But just remember the x-mas holiday season is not over yet..

Kids I think naturally take the stay-at-home parents (or parent they are with most of the time) for granted. They know you are there for them no matter what. You are a constant for them. Therefore sometimes they don't think to show their love to you in that way. Now with the other parent that isn't home all the time (or a divorce situation where they don't see them as much) they tend to want to show their love more because they don't see them as often. Also the parent that doesn't disiplin as much is viewed as the more fun parent. As time goes on they will see what you do for them is so much more. They will always of course love their dad but as they get older they will see all that you sacrifice for them and they will show it. (((HUGS)))
