[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to talk to her less.  Seriously. Don't tell her you're thinking of getting a babysitter or going out with friends. Why does she need to know that? It doesn't affect her.

Her feelings about a stocking are not your responsibility. If she's upset, let her be upset.

Keep in mind she might have a "we're all in this single parenting thing together, I AM your village" mentality which might not mesh with your "I am a strong, confident single mother making things work on my own and a family of two is absolutely still a family." [/quote]

Thank you for your response.  I only told her because she seems exhausted watching my son sometimes- and she’ll downright tell me how tired she is (she still works part-time).  She was so livid, and shot back with “fine!  You find someone next week who will wake up early and take your son to school, and pick him up and feed him dinner and put him to bed!”  To me, it was very over the top.

Your last sentence really makes sense, and this is exactly why we clash.  I have always prided myself on being independent (not to be confused with not asking for help), and always making it work.  [/quote]
