Well this weekend without D8 was a little difficult. I was supposed to have her but her mom had some familyevents that she wanted to share with D8. i of course accepted without hesitation. I did spend some time with NGF and her two kids (11 and 12). I even invited them over for a bbq prior to going to see a movie. NGF had invited me but I figured that she needed a break from cooking etc.... Well, let's just say that even hough I was not a huge fan of her kids, the 4 or 5 hours we spent together without D8 present just made me realize how lucky I am. I am lucky that D8 accpets and truly is kind to NGF and is well behaved. The same can not be said about NGF's kids. She agrees....we talked about it. It is obvious that although their dad has a girlfriend, they are having difficulty with the situation. I guess what bothered me the most this weekend is not their interaction with me but there constant bickering with each other, their constant requests to their mom, their general lack of respect and mostly there mood. the only time they were happy is when they had money for the arcade prior to the movie. Don't get me wrong, I am not expecting anything but a little common courtesy with everybody present. I am not the only one who noticed, NGF grounded them both today (I went golfing.....thank God). NGF told them that there will be very little interaction for the foreseable future because she is / was "embarassed". Anyhow, I figured I would share this because even though things are going very well with NGF, there are other people involved...... I was planning to spend the first week of August with D8 NGF and her kids. That plan is definately altered. I am off to pickup D8 for the week and I will make sure I shower her with the love she deserves.
