27-6-2008 - Just ranting

My mood while writing this blog: feelin\' better

Here comes another rant… I posted a poll about my boyfriends son earlier and then when responding to inquires I started to think of other things that will have to be dealt with. His son does not live with us; he comes over and stays with us every other weekend. His mother brings him up and tells him what he's allowed to do and what he is not. For example last time he was over he was upset because he couldn't see the new "Spiderwick" movie because his mom things the little creatures are creepy or something. He isn’t allowed to watch Harry Potter, not because he is too young, but because she doesn’t like magic or witches/wizards. Which makes me wonder if he is allowed to watch Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty or even Sword and the Stone… the first two aren’t witches but they do use magic. But I just let it all go because that is her son and she can bring him up anyway she wants. I always figured if my boyfriend has a problem with how she is raising him, he needs to take that up with her, because there is nothing I can do about it. But with the up coming arrival of our little one in October some of these things are going to be a problem. Which now makes the speech thing look like a very tiny problem compared to the others that are going to come up. I have been with my boyfriend for a year and a half now and it never really bothered me before but lately I started thinking how much he is going to affect our little girl. He does not believe in Santa Claus anymore, some kids told him he wasn’t real and his mom told him the same when he asked… which is fine, if she tells him that, I just hope when the time comes for her he will not spoil it for his little sister. He isn’t allowed to go trick or treating because his mother thinks that Halloween is the devils holiday… and if he’s over on a weekend that Halloween falls on… my little girl will not miss out on things because his mom won’t let him do them. So is my boyfriend suppose to miss out on events like trick or treating with his daughter because his son isn’t allowed to go…

There are other conflicts that aren’t really anyone’s fault, we will just have to deal with them, like he has very bad allergies and asthma and can not do anything that requires him to be active cause he looses his breath very quickly, which is sad. We tried to take him to the zoo once… we got in saw the monkeys and gorillas and then had to leave because his allergies and asthma flared up (my boyfriend would get so frustrated cause his mom wouldn't send his medication with him and there would be times he would need it). My boyfriend finally got threw to her (with a little help from me) and doesn’t have to have that fight anymore; she always has it in his bag now. I know we can do certain things on the weekend that we don’t have him, but then it just doesn’t seem like he’s part of the family, when he is… he’s the son of my boyfriend and the big brother of our little girl.

Oh well I refuse to stress anymore about things that might happen years down the road… and when it does we’ll just take it as it comes.
