Vent:

W picked up S2 tonight at daycare and was mad at me for dressing him this morning in a sports outfit. She thinks it is inappropriate to dress him in anything other than designer clothes and he has to be dressed to the 9's everytime he goes anywhere. I told her that I put him in the outfit b/c 1--it was clean and 2--I wanted to!

Anyways...today the little one had Valentine's day at daycare and he was the only one that did not have any V-Cards. Since we have done this "new" parenting plan W has had S2 on Wed and Thur for both pick up and drop off at daycare which is when they had it posted on the board about v-day. S2 was happy and brought home a bag with all of his candy and cards from his classmates and he got a v-card from every single one of his classmates. So S2 was the only kiddo there with nothing for his friends. For some reason that crushes me thinking that this is his life now, he will always be the one that is missing out and left out of things. Not so big of a deal at 2 but as he grows older that will be a huge deal.

I am kicking myself b/c in hindsight I should have known better I think, but I am a guy and this is my first rodeo with this stuff so I admittedly so am learning on the fly here....It hurts to think that W has her head so far up her own a** that now it is in real ways effecting our little boy who has done NOTHING to deserve this. Of course, W turned this around on me and said that I should have somehow known this and also somehow gotten v-day stuff to daycare even though it was not my turn to take him and had no knowledge of this.

I guess this is a learning lesson that I need to pick up my sensitivity shoes and try to think like mommy and daddy. I am not sure about that! Hope this weekend is better, although with all of the Valentine's crap out there it is looking like a downer weekend already. Snowing, low teens, rainy and not looking forward to spending v-day alone while W is out with OM and just happily moving on........
