OK I think this thread will go under this dating topic because it does have to do with dating.


Yesterday I decided that I needed to get rid of an old desk that was cluttering up my dining room.

Moms might think thay are saying the right thing, certainly want the best for us. But in the end it HAS to be what is right for us, not mom. Mom is not the one who will live out the logistics. In her mind she has an "ideal" but the does not mean it jives with your reality.


Hopefully she will allow you to make your own decisions and trust you on them and support those decisions knowing you are doing the best for yourself and your kiddos.

I am lucky. My mom and stepdad lived together for 10 years before getting married. But she also would never try to get me to see someone else even if she didn't like DF. However mom's see their son dating a divorcee with four kids...

"Besides, he doesn't come over to my house and clean toilets. So why should I be at his house cleaning toilets?"

sorry I didnt understand.. Why was she asking about EG when you were talking about the table? Did she mean he should have helped you or that he should be available to help you when you need.

I think you should be proud of all you accomplished on your own.
