Hi all. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I'm being childish or expecting too much
Me and my OH have been together 3 years and in that time his 2 sons come over for summer/Easter and some Christmas holidays. We don't have kids together yet but we stay with my two kids from previous marriage. When my step sons come to visit (8 & 6 year olds) I'm the one who usually looks after all 4 of our kids. I cook, clean , take them out etc while he's working. He helps out when he can
Now today Mother's Day I was secretly hoping for some flowers etc but no surprises there. I casually mentioned "oh would have been nice to receive something for Mother's Day" and his response was "but you're not my mother". My heart sank a little as I've always thought I had a motherly role to play with all our kids. Or am I wrong to think so?
