Seeing him Valentines Day - UGHHH sheydp: Ok, for those of you who know a little of my story (feel free to look it up if you don't - check all posts and go to my first one) he is going to my ex-best friends Valentine's week-end. It is the first trip, first time they will have ever spent getting together without me. Valentine's week-end! What a kicker!
Ok, was starting to get over that with a little help from my friends (you know who you are ;)) When I got another kick in the azz.
My six year old has been planning a Valentine's party for weeks! She has been making decorations, invitations for her big sister, daddy and me (she is making her 2 year old sister help her! lol). My mom had her for several days while she was recovering from pneumonia (yes, lots of stress for me lately) and she was doing it then. She wants to have the house clean, my STBX come over for dinner, and us all have a party. Now, I know you are all thinking she is trying to get us back together, but I don't think it is like that - she just loves party planning, and Valentine's day just happened to be the next Holiday, if you knew my little one, you would know what I mean. However, that said, even if she isn't trying to get us together (and I am SURE she is not) she is expecting us to be friendly and get along like we always have... HOW CAN I DO THAT KNOWING HE IS COMING FROM VISITING HER OVER A WEEKEND! I am dyin' here! Any advice?
PS... No advice about not having the party - I won't break her heart because mine is!
Re:Seeing him Valentines Day - UGHHH sheydp: Hey, been waiting all day - I give advice all the time but get none! :-[
Re:Seeing him Valentines Day - UGHHH hardened_heart1970: maybe you could keep a hammer in the kitchen, then when you get mad at him, goto the kitchen and hit your hand with it......... just kidding..... if you do go through with it, your alot tougher than me, cause i couldnt.. not much advice, but i tried. its a bad situation.
Re:Seeing him Valentines Day - UGHHH sheydp: Thanks... It is at least nice to get a response!!! As for the hammer - I think I will be in enough pain, but maybe that would be a distraction... ::)
Re:Seeing him Valentines Day - UGHHH Chase: Hi Shey,
(Brief moment online) .. You can do it, I know you can. Difficult as it is going to be, it will be a good practise session for all the times in the future that you are going to be together with the kids for one thing or another. Will there be other adults there? Maybe you can spend most of the time with other people or just helping the kids get along! (That's always the funnest part of kids parties isn't it <said through gritted teeth> :) )
