why I feel like the Nanny
Forums:
I feel like the Nanny because I am the last one to know about schedule changes even when I am the one that is doing the picking up dropping off. I feel like the Nanny because I have been told time and time again I am not the "mom". I feel like the Nanny because this last one is big I helped the SD and SS shop and make the mother's day gifts wothout getting even a thank you.
Oh honey
You feel like a nanny with your BK's too! I seem to be the last to about scheduled changes also. I get "ring, ring, "Hey mom, I forgot to tell you...." Great! Even your BK's will probably, at some point, wish you weren't the mom. And thank you's? Well just stop doing anything that deserves a thank you!

well
My BD has never treated me this badly. I do have to say she didn't fair very well on Mother's day but I chalked it up to 15 years old has a new boyfriend, did remember to tell me Happy Mother's day and told me I did an amazing job on the other Mom's gift. Things have just been happening lately that makes me frustrated and this was the one place that I knew I could just say it, if I say it to DH he says I am over reacting. So today I told him I was going to treat myself to my Mother's day present, and though I am not a girly girly, I am getting a pedicure and my hair trimmed. (I get pedicures in the summer and I get my hair trimmed once a year so it isn't that big of a deal, just thought I would call it my Mother's day.)
Just A Good Parent
You know you are a good parent when you do these things for the children time and time again, regardless of how it makes you feel and without so much of a thank you!
don't want the thank you from the kids
I want it from my DH.
For a second...
