Hiya
I have two sc and am feeling really hurt by my SDs actions last night. She had been away for the weekend, for which we had given her money to spend as she wished. When she came home last night, she had bought her dad 2 gifts. We did not expect any gifts from her, so it was nice that she gave him a thoughts. My problem is, after giving her dad the gifts, she turned to me and said sorry didnt get you anything, didnt know what to get.
Now ive been a "step-mom" to her for for over 4 years. Im often the one she asks for lifts to places cause her mom and dad cant be bothered, and when im out shopping with her dad, im the one that picks up the things that she needs, plus whenever she has run out of things that girls need, she comes to me for more.
I feel really hurt that she just cant be bothered! This isnt the first time ive been forgotten, tho after the last upset, my H normally steps in and makes sure these things dont happen.
Do other people find this as well...or am i just being too touchy? (SD is 15, and we have joint custody (50/50) along with her mother,we dont have the greatest relationship, though i do try to stick up for her and help her out when i can, cause my dad never did for me)
I just feel like tell her stuff it, and not to ask me for anything anymore.
