Marcy is soooo fluffy! I’d rub her belly all the time.

Thank you, Kendahl!

I try not to dwell, and I mostly do OK. But days like Mothers Day and other holidays really re-twist that knife, you know? The other thing that stung was last week, I had a meeting with Chooch’s teacher, and she was telling me about how popular he is with the faculty and the older kids as well as his own classmates, and she was just smiling so much while she was talking about him. And I felt so proud! But then on the way home, I was thinking about how fucked up it is that my own family (because it’s not just my mom, though she is the worst of them) will never get to know how cool my kid is, nor do they care to, apparently. It really hurts.

Kevin,

I appreciate this so much. However, I’m truly sorry that you can relate.

And you’re right — the one good thing she has done is given me a living example of the type of parent I DON’T want to be.

I guarantee you will never, ever turn out like your mom did. You are so incredibly caring, and maybe it’s because of the way she just abandoned you, but you are an amazing mom. Don’t let her get you down. It’s really her loss. She’ll never understand and get to know what a great person you are, and how awesome her grandson is, and how much she’s missing out on.

Moms. What can you do? I have to comment on here and not fb necause my mom is my fb friend. Sounds like she has done better than yours, but she let us get the crap beat out of us as kids and pretends it never happened. Still, I have all of my life sad because she visits the rest of her kids but not me.
Only recently after she was talking crap about me to my daughter and acted an ass when visiting for my sons graduation (one of around five visits in the last 31 years) have I finally stopped wishing for visits.
I think it is all about being better parents than them.

Erin, some people suck as parents. The fact your mother sucks makes you so aware that you will never suck as one. The fact you worry that you will, makes you a better parent then she will ever be. I get that being a parent doesn’t come with a manual, and some children are more spirited then others. However, love from a parent should be unconditional or don’t become one. I’m sorry you feel, so crushed right now. We should all feel sorry for your Mom, because she will never understand the amazing, creative, funny person you are. Hugs!

That Icona Pop song. I tried to hate it, but it comes on and I turn into 14-year-old-with-a-side-ponytail Kendahl. For real. I’m glad everything went well and you didn’t seriously injure yourself because I don’t know what would have happened without Henry there.

“my mother rules and daddy doesn’t”. Favorite line. Sorry about the old dumb lady cheating for the 4-year-old.
