Making A Connection

It just dawned on me that what I simply categorized as The Man's baby with Justice (second wife), will be my children's little brother or sister. And they will hardly know this new child. As far as I know she's only about four months along. He asked me today if I would shop for the new baby, because she wants to go to the most expensive shop ever. I almost laughed. Almost. One thing about me, is that I love a good deal and have saved him thousands in new baby costs and other things over the years with my thriftiness. I think that has only become something he appreciated about me since hooking up with her. Oh well. Anyway, I agreed if she agrees because I don't want to be involved in their problems and contributing to negativity. I later thought about it and suggested he buy a gift cards for certain stores and let her shop online, and when he comes here just pick that stuff up. It hasn't been long enough for him to reply but I think that would be a more reasonable option. It hit home with me because he was saying we've already established a standard for the children and didn't see why this one had to be different. I think that might have stung a bit for her, whatever way he said it.

You would think I would tell him it's his problem and to deal with it himself. My reasons for agreeing are not without motive lol. Admittedly, it's something I'll be able to smirk about and I know I'm going to done well in kind. My beautiful smart babies are going to have a little brother or sisters this year. I'm a little in awe having made a connection, albeit a few month too late. It's a shame they won't really know this child due to his wishy washiness and passive aggressive threats regarding custody. Maybe he can sponsor the child and make it permanent resident like him, but that would be the only chance he's going to have to unite these kids as far as I can see.


Ah well.
