Ok y’all, what would you do if you were me in this situation?...
My boyfriends family has nothing to do with our daughter. Except his sister, she’s the only one that cares. They don’t reach out. They don’t ask to see her. They don’t ask how she’s doing or how we are doing. And i’m over it. Because sooner than later, the holidays are gonna roll around again and just like last year i’m not gonna want to go. She’s getting older now and it’s clear that she knows who people are. It’s clear when she’s comfortable with someone and when she’s not. and I feel like eventually, if you’re not part of her life and you’re a stranger to her, that’s it. Cut off.
I try to tell him all the time that I just don’t understand why they don’t reach out. They barely saw her last year. From the time she was born (January 2018) to christmas 2018 they probably saw her twice. but then they take all these pictures of her and post them online as if they have a relationship with her. I’m not ok with that.
He won’t let me say something because it’ll “start an argument” and he said the only person that can say something is him. But I know he’s gonna sugar coat it and that’s not what I want. I want them to know that if they don’t start acting like they want to be part of her life, then they won’t be.
Am I being over dramatic? I just don’t want random people coming in and out of her life twice a year and posting pictures of her as if they even know her. They don’t try to have any kind of relationship with me. They don’t call me they don’t text me they never ask how Madi is doing I just don’t get it. I really don’t. My boyfriend tried to hand her to his dad a couple weeks ago when we randomly saw him and she didn’t want to go. she grabbed onto him so hard and he pulled her off of him and handed her to his dad who to her is a complete stranger. I just feel like if you want to be a big part of a child’s life, you need to put in the effort or it’s gonna to absolutely no where.
