Being a step dad is hard, sometimes i dont get it. I love jennster more than i love myself.......meaning i love her more than i thought i could love anyone. i dont think anything could break us up. she is more than i could ever ask for. but one thing, the same thing that gives me so much joy, also gives me fear. Blake. What a wonderful kid, i cant say enough great things about him. i really couldnt ask for more of a kid.
What is difficult for me is coming into the game late. i wish blake was my son, i wish he was my flesh and blood and i was there from the day he was born until now. but i wasnt. that cant changethat, but i want to be the best stepdad i can, i want to be everything to him.
seeing him happy makes me happy. i love to see him smile. i love just seeing that face having fun. i feel like i give and give like i want nothing in return. i wish it was the case, but for some reason everynight at dinner he drives me crazy. trying things has because the most difficult issue in my life. i feel like every night at dinner will he an issue, i will ask him to try something, he will refuse.
being a stepdad and wanting blake to have a good foundation, i want jenn and i to be a team, we half to. but thats were it gets hard, my natural instincts arent the same as hers. i havent been there for 5 years of his life, i dont understand what is logical to a 7 year old and what is not.
i come from a food snob family, i love to eat. i like lots of stuff. i will try anything (i.e. haggas, end of story).
sorry if this is random, its not like its some story with a structured story line.
jenn from the beginning of time fixed blake dinner, she fixed what he wanted and then fixed what she wanted. when we merged into a family that changed. I cook dinner now. i want a good dinner, its like "my meal" but im only cooking one(within reason). At first there were some issues about dinner so we came up with a plan. a great plan. a menu. 2 weeks ahead of time. i get 2 days and blake gets 2 days and jenn gets 1. the idea was that it would end the bitching about dinners. it did for a while but like most things in life. it has worn off.
i want blake to try things. i would like to be able to open a cookbook and pick out anything for dinner, but i feel like i cant. it frustrates jenn when i want blake to try something and it frustrates me even more when he wont. i dont know what to do. i want me and jennster to be a team, i want him to have structure and not mixed signals. but its not a big thing for her and it is from me. i want to find a comprimise somewhere but i dont see where. it bothers me how much it bothers me. i came from a strict family. causes and effects. but its different. i feel like it would be so much easier if i was there from the start. but i wasnt.
i feel lost.
i want to profread this but im not going to. fuck me here it goes.
