My mum had bought me a birthday cake and we lit a sort of firework on it last night as my son and I had tea at her house. The look of wonder on my sons face as the sparkles shot out of the cake was wonderful. It's very good of my mum to go the extra mike and still buy me a cake and try to get the family together each year. I don't make it easy because I'm always trying to include my step kids first and foremost.
My mum offered to have a birthday tea at hers for me but I declined because I can't transport both step kids there with ease which is why I organise to meet at a pub near them instead.
I probably looked ungrateful.
My mum offered to buy my tea at the pub but I turned that down because I'd then have to buy my step kids tea anyway at the pub and the idea is we keep it as cheap as possible.
I probably looked ungrateful.
I'm not ungrateful. It's just that I have it planned to work how I want it to work and I believe I should keep it as I want it.
Plus I'm saving my mum the expense.
I think I'm doing the good thing but it feels like I'm being awkward.
My mum saying that the family are arriving early and eating for my birthday without me went some way to making me feel like she got her retaliation in.
Hopefully everyone will go away happy.
