So I'm a step mum to my partners 2 kids, 6&3.
On my birthday he knew I was having a rough time because none of my friends could come to my night out (we're all nurses) so said we'd do something with the kids in Saturday!
On Friday he hands me £100 and says go get your hair done- I'd told him a week before it would cost about £30! So that is it no effort in my present!
Post night out- where one friend shows up!- sat afternoon comes and his mum calls to see where we are going- I ask him and he says- oh I haven't booked anywhere! No cake no present from the kids nothing! I end up having to book some shitty pub for dinner where all the chavs go because obviously on a Saturday night everywhere is booked up! He didn't even arrange a cake or a present from the kids!
Tonight after we dropped he kids off to their mums he said-
You alright babe? So I let it all out- now he is asleep in the other room because I made him feel bad!
What he always forgets is I live in England to be with him and the kids and all my family is in Ireland so I depend on him to be there for me!
Is it so bad to want to feel special for the weekend?
Thanks in advance for your advice ladies!
