So, my partner and I have been together for 9 months.
He has a 5 year old daughter & ive only known her for 7 months.
For these 7 months, understandably the ex wife (child’s mother), has never let me take care of the daughter alone. She would go out of her way to get other people involved to look after the girl, rather than just drop her off at our home (where the daughter stays with us anyway).
So tonight, drum roll please.....
The ex wife (child’s mother), FINALLY gave permission for me to look after the daughter.....
and let’s be honest, I generally look after this little girl when she visits us anyway.... I let my partner sleep in on the weekends, I give her breakfast, pop the tv on & I have a coffee and breakfast with her.
The mother still has a few strange requests like;
No photos.
No bathing.
No taking to toilet.
No discipline.
that’s cool man. Whatever floats your boat.
I’m not comfortable doing any of those things anyway.... but I’m finally just glad, I’m trusted enough by the mother to finally let me start being a step parent!
