So, today was a good but ended in some serious parenting conversations. Many of you may know that my family changed quite a bit in the last 6 months. My ex husband had been dating a woman and finally introduced her to myself, and our kids. Things have gone wonderfully. I love his (now) fiancee and we have built a wonderful friendship. I love her daughter as if she was my own. I think overall things have come together very well, as if we were always meant to be a family. My kids have gained a daughter, and another mother while Ive gained a daughter and a friend. My heart is full. Apparently this weekend my oldest (he is 6) told his sister that he didnt feel as special as her. He asked her not to say anything but she told her mom. So, today I talked to him about it. I just wanted to hear what we were doing that could be causing these feelings. What he had to say broke my heart, opened our eyes, and opened up some serious discussions. He had very valid points! I talked to Hope and we figured out some ways to fix this, then his dad came and talked to him, and then we talked to him together. I walked away from this with several things. First, this all cane out because his sister asked him what was wrong! Then, he felt comfortable enough to tell her everything! It makes me so happy that they care about one another so much and can have a friendship like that at the age of 6. It makes me so happy to watch their friendship grow as they do. Second, I love that his sister knew when she couldnt handle something herself and that she needed to talk to her mom about it. Third, I love the way his three parents came together and worked out a plan to make sure he never feels that way again! At the end of the day Im glad I have the parenting team I do. Im very happy I have a child who is so very loved!
