My boyfriend is in the National Guard and is getting deployed in May to Dubai. I’m super stressed about him being gone already, but now I’m even more stressed because months ago I told him that I wanted to help out with his kids still and get them every other week because I’m going to be lonely. His ex was more than happy that I would say something like that because when he told her he was going to be leaving she said, “Okay, now I’m really stressed out.” Like you’re stressed out? You live with your boyfriend who takes care of you while you have no job. I get it, she would have the kids more, so I understand that stress, but she would still have help. I love those kids to death, but it just kinda gives me anxiety to think about being a part time mother to kids that aren’t mine. I set myself up for this, but I just don’t know what to do. My boyfriend said that his ex is getting antsy about knowing what the schedule with all of this is going to be and said that we need to talk about it. I’m such a people pleaser I just don’t know what to do about all of this. I know that I could do a couple days every other week, but I’m not sure I could do more than that. I feel terrible saying it.

Sorry, rant over.

Please when you comment be nice.
