Okay I’m going to start of by saying when it comes to my side of the family I make sure they treat my child and my step child equal because that’s how it should be, they don’t come in and take my daughter and leave my step son behind just because I didn’t birth him, doesn’t mean he’s any less important to me than my daughter. I love them both as if he was mine to but not in a overstepping type of way, I know my place but here’s the thing my MIL is taking my stepson for the night Friday but isn’t taking my daughter? I’m slightly offended because I feel like it should be equal, she takes my sil’s daughter all the time and they aren’t far apart in age so that’s not the problem... and it’s not a that two is to much because he’s self sufficient and doesn’t need much tending to.. she has never taken my daughter or offered to spend time with her either, she’s had a lot of years and a lot of recent time with just my step son so it’s not like she wants one on one because that’s all they ever have. I could really use a night of, but my mom works every weekend so the availability she has to offer to babysit is very very limited... she doesn’t seem to Care much for my daughter either, she won’t come visit unless my step son is present and I know that for a fact because we made plans one time and she asked if he would be there but I gave an answer that didn’t say if he was or wasn’t and asked if she was coming and she didn’t, because she thought he wasn’t here. I feel a bit frustrated that she has absolutely no desire for my baby... she’s so involved in my step son and then his cousin so what gives? I don’t get it... I might be hormonal but I’m slightly irritated now but I don’t let that show so don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to start drama I’m just venting it out here.
