I come from a blended family and I know my parents (Dad and step mom) have always worked at being very fair to my step sister and I, but it's still frustrating to know that no matter how much they try.... it just doesn't happen.
I don't want to sound like I'm doing the whole poor me thing because my parents have always been very generous, but there are still a few things that bother me.
When my sister was pregnant with her youngest, my Mom made a big deal about telling me about things they did for her family (buying a new dishwasher and helping her buy maternity clothes). When I was pregnant, I was at their house and my Mom made a big deal about saying she wanted to take me shopping for maternity clothes... But, I was home for a funeral, so it didn't happen. She commented that she would send me a check, well, the check never came.
My family just got back from a vacation at my parents house. All summer when we've talked about coming for this trip and for a trip over the holidays, my Mom has been saying that they want to pay for my daughter's flight. Well, that never happened either.
I know I just need to get over it, because my parents do a ton of little things for us that I know all add up. It's just hard to get over broken promises.....
