I can't really vent anywhere else. Tell me what your thoughts are. My step son gave me a Mother's Day gift he made at school. I find out today that his mother and grandmother are very upset about it. Grandmother texted my husband saying we owe step son's mother an apology. I sent this to his grandmother: I just wanted you to know that I just heard about a misunderstanding with a mother's day gift. That day Caid got in the car and gave it to me and said happy mothers day. He never mentioned giving it to his mom or asked for it back so he could. I spoke with him about it today. We decided that he would bring it to his mom. I am not apologizing for anything. Caidence is a little boy. I will never replace his mother nor do I want to. I know how important a birth mother is to a child. He cares about me and I am a parental figure to him and he loves me. I think he felt torn and doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings or make anyone mad. He just wants to make everyone happy. Instead of jumping to negative conclusions it's best to ask questions.
Well I asked my step son what he told his mom and I understand why she was so upset. He told her he wanted to give it to her but didn't tell her he gave it to me instead. So he pretty much withheld information due to not wanting to hurt mommy's feelings. So in turn this made me and my husband look horrible.
