Spent the Easter holidays trying to do as much fun stuff as possible with ds who is 8.. Not always easy as a disabled single mum, in constant pain and with a budget, but thought I had done a pretty good job.. So ds comes in from school today.. What did you do asks me.. Wrote about my Easter says ds.. He then proceeds to tell me how he wrote about all the things he did with my ex and that "oh I played Mario kart at mum's" Am I being totally unreasonable to be a little hurt that all the effort I made seemed to count for nothing? I've seen his jotter and it was the same at Christmas.. A whole list of dad stuff and "mum bought me a DVD" at the bottom.. His teachers must be lining me up for a worst mother ever award :(

Aw, you know what, he is writing about unusual holiday stuff. So what he did with you shows that he does fun stuff with you all the time. It's what he knows he gets with you.

The other stuff is more unusual so he has 'noticed' it. Therefore you win the award for Most Consistently Fun Mum. Don't worry - you are doing a great job Smile.

Agree with Lowry. I would be hurt too but really, you should take it as a compliment!

Thanks.. And I do hate the negative emotions this brings out in me.. But I'm trying so hard to create new positive memories - I had even had the photos printed of what we had done over the holidays and bought a scrapbook to put them in - and I feel like I'm failing miserably :(
