I had my little boy climb into bed with me this mornings. His little face peeping over the covers next to me. There is no better sight to wake up to. He couldn't even open his eyes fully before he told me " you be Grandpa and I be Max" meaning we had to play BEN 10.
we got to talking about my dad not being the grandad who he sees and I produced a photo of old from my christening. I explained that mums and dads rarely stay together FOREVER. He mentioned his brother, my step son , had said that his dad had said that he didn't want to see him anymore, but I don't believe that has been said, so I tried to explain that I would never say that to him . he replied "but you DON'T live with us anymore".
OUCH.
Anyway this sparked a long list of questions and explanations where he pointed out that his mum and new boyfriend are grumpy with each other and there are arguments. I reassured him as best I could but also took solace from the fact that I was right, she is hard to live with.
We reaffirmed out love for each other as we spoke about family.
He said. "You don't want a girlfriend do you dad" I said "correct, they are just trouble". I explained that he was the best thing to ever happen to me and that without his mum I never would have had him.
He said he understood and that he also understood that mums and dads split up eventually. So he settled on the notion that he would meet a woman to have his babies and then leave her for someone else . I never put him straight....it sounded like a genius plan to me.
