Selfish...

Selfish

Why do you enjoy putting your child last?

Can't you get over your days of the past?

Food, clothes and love should be first on your list.

Somehow your needs are met but your child's are missed.

How does any child feel knowing she's only a bother?

Having to play second fiddle to her mother and father.

Why are you parents if she's never put first?

Is she just a trophy and brings out your worst?

There are some in this world who should have been blessed.

There are others who only care about being best-dressed.

Take a look in the mirror and see who you've become.

You're too selfish to come in third, yet too lonely to be one.

So sorry your having such a hard time in your life you have to take inventory on everyone around you. Maybe it might prove fruitfull to spend your time on the positive instead of the negative. You appartantly love your husband and child so use your energy to focus on them and making a good life. Too much negativity comes from these blogs.

It's easy for other people who don't know the situation to comment about it.
You don't get to pick your family or your in-laws (unfortunately) and we're expected to just accept whatever scraps of attention you get from them.
Somehow, it has to be made clear that we shouldn't have to accept less than what we deserve AND we should only let those people in our lives who make our lives richer.
We cannot make people like us or take an interest in us...they either do or don't and being "related" has nothing to do with it.
It's not the greatest thing knowing that people only pay attention to those who are sitting right in front of their faces....noone else exists.
That's the purpose of my blog....to show the upside and downside of certain relationships and I'm glad I don't have to participate in some of them.....
