Thing is? I'm really OK with everything. I don't hold grudges and since he admitted he was ashamed of the way he walked away last year, I've pretty much been over all of that. The thing i wanted more than anything - him being a father to Evie - I have, so no complaints from me. I don't care about money and am not in the least bothered that he doesn't pay maintenence. Sure I'd like him to see her a bit more but he's proved that he's happy to take her when I need him to (he's having her in a couple of weeks when I have an exam) so no complaints there either. And when he sees her, he's wonderful. Not in the least bit resentful, the way i ws afraid he'd be back when she was born. So all in all, I'm perfectly at ease with the way things are between us.
My mother has a knack for sticking her nose in when it's completely inapproriate to do so. The thing I mentioned above about her losing me a job? I was 21 years old and she didn't agree with the hours I was being made to work so she phoned my boss and ranted at her. I lost the job and was told to get out of the house I was sharing with other employees, just because my mother can't see that her kids don't need her sticking her oar in. Sure, things are friendly with Steve now and he obviously wants to be in Evie's life, but he has a low tolerance for being inconvenienced and putting up with my mother bitching at him was not part of our deal. So, that#s why I need her to keep her mouth shut.
...sorry. Totally didn't mean to have another vent about my parent there.
