Confession Friday

Anything you need to tell us?

I cleaned the upstairs bathroom today. Nobody uses it besides H and I. I honestly have no clue the last time I cleaned it. The last time I recall cleaning it (and to his credit, H might have cleaned it since) was before the baby was born. That's pretty embarrassing to admit...

I had every intention to clean the house today but I only half cleaned (I swept the floors and cleaned the bathroom) before I sat down to read my kindle and then took a nap for a few hours this afternoon. I don't regret the nap but it just leaves more for me to do tomorrow morning.

I confess that I don't want to go back to work on Monday. Being home with O for 3 days makes me miss being on maternity leave.

I bought 3 Kate Spade purses last night. One is a diaper bag, so I don't feel bad.

Day late but I was having a hard time putting it into words... Sometimes it's hard for me that this is my first baby but H's 3rd. It's really hard to explain and it's with stupid things... Like I wanted this baby's first Christmas ornament that says "and baby makes 3" but I couldn't because we are 5. H got me a mom ornament but didn't want a dad one because it isn't his first year as a dad. I spend an hour to do our Christmas cards to make sure there wasn't any bias to "our" kid vs "his". No one puts that pressure on me but myself. I just don't want to be "that step-mom".

@mana8503‌ I totally get how you feel and I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. It's hard being a step-mom and no one else gets it unless they're in the same position. You almost feel robbed from some things that first time moms get, but then feel selfish for even feeling that way. It's kinda a catch 22.

My confession is a day late but I am really annoyed that D decided to spend all day with his family instead of me. I knew he would be helping them with some cottage stuff but he said he would be home tonight so we could spend time together since I have the day off. But he text me to say he is spnding the night...and that likely means he won't be home in time for church tomorrow.

I get that he wants to help his family but I am going to start working weekends again so out time together will be limited.

@mrshall1027 - I was gonna message you actually. You're the only person I know in the same position. And I feel like it gets worse when you have a kid. You hit the nail on the head with the feeling robbed then selfish. I'm sure I'm over thinking it, but I just don't want anyone to get mad or feel left out.

^^my friend writes a blog that addresses many issues blended families experience. She might have some tips for the holidays. Her blog is www.ourhollydays.com.

hugs to both @mrshall1027 and @mana8503

Thanks @catwine! I'll have to check it out! I used to lurk on the blended family board on TB, but I haven't in a while.

Feel free to message me whenever! Even on fb if it's easier. You're the only one I know as well that's a step-mom.
