Good enough.

Thoughts of a sub whose seen too much in her young life.

Yesterday was my youngest kiddos 7th birthday. We are having family over tomorrow for her birthday. Well my mom and I went half on a battery operated quad for her. She loves to be outside but since I bought my parents house and moved back, I don't have anything in the backyard for her.

 

Well this is where the venting comes in. I had asked my mom if I could get the quad delivered to my brothers house and ask either him or my dad to put it together. (I'm good with tools but not strong enough to ensure it's tight.) I was told no it's too much work. Yet tomorrow when everyone gets here my brother and dad are going to spend most of the time yelling at me for putting it together and are going to say I did it wrong or it's not safe enough and blah blah blah.

 

I'm trying my hardest as a single mom of 2 kids but life has been dragging me down lately. I'm depressed and miserable and my lovely little space? I can't seem to find the right headspace for it since we moved. I just feel so lost.

 

Be kind.

Max Heathen​(other male) - First off, If they say anything remind them that you asked and they said no... If they could do better, then they should have stepped up to the plate, but they didn't so they can stay silent. It's not like this Quad is going to be going 50mph down a busy interstate, it maxes out a 5mph and even if it does fall apart, they are constructed to be child safe so it's not like the child will be harmed. Disappointed, scared, yeah maybe but you're a good mom who knows how to calm a crying child. It can be repaired so really... it'll be just fine. Your youngest will be excited and it'll work on their birthday. That's what matters. Enjoy the day and I hope this helps.

No one else has any part of the credit for that smile on your kiddo's face tomorrow. (your disappointment is reasonable and your frustration is fair... but you have a victory here.)
