FYI, I'm a single mum and my boyf doesn't live with us and isn't playing father etc etc.... OK, we?ve been together almost 3 years and he hasn?t seen much of my parents at all in spite of them being a bus ride away, mainly because we have limited time together as it is, so spending time together with my parents is hardly a priority. Anyway, me and my mum were talking about my dd getting up out of bed etc (she has been out of a cot for a couple of days now), and I was saying it?ll be interesting to see what happens next time my boyf comes over after work as he normally arrives after she?s gone to bed, but sometimes while she?s still awake chattering to herself. She is bound to try getting up to see him? my mum says ?Oh, and he?ll just make it worse, he hasn?t got any sense!? or something to that effect. I was livid, but only replied ?That?s not true at all actually, he is fully backing me up with the discipline stuff, he would be all for ?back to bed? and stuff. But yes, him just being there would excite dd.? My mum sort of corrected herself, saying it is exciting seeing boyf (for dd) but the damage was done, I now know what she really thinks of him. It?s prob made worse by the fact that she hardly ever sees him, and I know he prob comes across as more immature and less supportive than he is, but how dare she judge my boyf when she never sees how we are together/how he is with dd? And to say he hasn?t any sense!!! Grrrr.
