I am looking forward to tonight. I am taking a few hours off to go down to my sons final home game. He will be introduced to the home crowd as a senior playing his last game at home. They still have one more game but it is away. His mother and I will walk with him as he is introduced and what his plans are. The always announce the parents to. Like: "kid, son or daughter, of parents the awards he/she has received so far in high school and what their plans are for the future". I have the feeling that his mother is going to cry. She does get a red rose from him. I know that will help her through as her son gets one step closer to graduation.
I do not understand some people. I guess my step sons step mother who has not really been part of his up bringing is upset at me now. I guess this all stems from last friday when I was escorting my step son along with his mom and dad at the game. I guess she does not understand that it was his wish for me to be there as I am the one who has raised him for the past 8 + years and he wanted me there. His dad was there just because it was his dad. Am I wrong for not feeling any sympathy towards his step mother?
I do not think she will ever change. I met her mother last Christmas and I now refuse to go to their house when her mother is there.
Her mother opened my eyes to her upbringing. I know know why her house is a total mess. It is because the guests are supposed to do the dishes, clean the house and wash the clothes. I was told by her mother that I am not a good guest because I did not clean or help with the dishes? I was like huh? A guest is a guest in your home. They should not be put to work as it is not their home.
All the guest in my house do not have to do a thing. I make sure they have drinks, a place to sit, and anything else they may require within reason. Even if they offer to help with something I politely refuse to allow them to help. I guess that is the way I was brought up.
I want to thank everyone for their continued prayers for my wife. SHe is not improving right now but they have given her a different drug that she starts to take today. We are both hoping that with it and the fact that she does not need another treatment now until the 17th of November that she improves. We are both very glad that we have friends, and family praying for her.
