iam not complaining but since me and their mother split the older stepdaughter been fine and sent me a message on facebook this morning, the youngest nothing, I don't expect a card or anything just a hi! is that wrong?
It might do. She might be being a,typical self -centred teenager and could be nothing to do with whether you're biological dad ir stepdad. I would just keep in contact with her anyway. Do you think she's got any reason to be upset with you?
It does make a difference. At that age , a teenager, some kids are like that, unthinking. They can be like it, older: my daughter sent a card and called, but my son? Nothing And they're 25 and 34! They both love me dearly (I think!).
I think it's possible , in your position; children not with you, you missing them; to over-analyze, and attach more significance to things like this than you would otherwise
I haven't rang my step dad or sent a card, he won't mind. Sometimes he doesn't ring me or the kids on their birthdays, it's not a problem. We both know how much we mean to each other and are there for each other for the big things.
What are you moaning about ? Two of my children brought me nothing at all for mothers day this year. Sometimes they do and sometimes they dont. You are reading too much into it. I love my kids and I know they love me.
My mum and step dad split when i was 13. I didnt speak to him for 5 years after (moody teenager syndrome). We started speaking at a friends wedding and now have a great relationship. Give it time x
