Reading Scorpionic Web's post got me thinking about children of partners. Firstly, I had a revelation the other day. Life seems to be about people coming and going, entering and exiting one's Life. Things always change, people do too.Maybe, you'll feel differently about how you feel one day, SW.
My personal story is about meeting my partner who had adult children. We dated for 2 years and we hardly ever saw them. Then one day, the youngest started to phone every day, including Saturday and/or Sunday mornings about 7-7.30am!!!! Then she'd want to come over and visit in the middle of our Saturday or Sunday. Or she would pop in as we were about to get dinner ready on a work night, so we'd end up having a late dinner and consequently, a late night.
I started to get "cross"!!! My partner has slowly eased her daughter out of calling so early in the weekend.
So, you never know what comes along when you enter into a relationship! For me, it took two years of dating to suddenly have an adult child "be there" all the time. I wasn't planning on that.
Isn't it funny that we search for an ideal mate based on what our own desires are requesting. Then as we get in deeper, a whole new world unfolds before our own unexpecting eyes!!!
Then it's too late to run and hide!!!
