The talk with hubby

August 23, 2008

Tonight my daughters boyfriend walked to our house to have “the talk” with my husband. It took him over four hours to get to our house. Its a long walk from his house to here let me tell you. He called me just a few minutes before nine and told me he was on his way and how close he was. I felt bad for him and drove to pick him up. My daughter had no idea he was walking here and was surprised to see him. But he said he wanted to talk to hubby alone so my daughter and I sat out in the car in the driveway. She already really knows what it was about, I mean how often does the boyfriend want to talk to the father alone?

I am full of mixed emotions. I realize its another phase and commit for them, but I have to tell you I am not ready for this and like it or not that is how it is. I can’t keep her my little girl forever. But I cried on the way home from driving him home. I just feel like time is really moving right now.

Wow, I knew it was coming but……. I still don’t know what all hubby said to him yet we have not had the chance to talk but…. not sure I want to hear it tonight.

I know there are some parents out there who are so ready for this part of their children’s lives so they are growing up and moving on so they themselves can also take a direction in life now, but this is very hard on me. Maybe because of the fact my own mother and not having a relationship with her…..

Aw how sweet of him to want to talk to your hubby. I know this is not easy for you and since I am clueless about kids all I can do is give you a big old cyber {{{{HUG}}}}

Got something to say?
