As Mothers we all have those moments where we feel like we are playing second fiddle. When they are teenagers you are surely second to all their friends and influences from TV and the internet. But when they are little.... there are other things/people that are higher than you are.
The other day while driving Ladybug to school with Pink the the front seat, Ladybug says:
Mommy! I miss my Daddy.
I say:
I know Honey, he misses and loves you too.
Ladybug says:
He's my favorite!
I say:
Your favorite what? (she has said he's her favorite Daddy before)
Ladybug says:
He's my favorite person!
My thought... "OMG, I do EVERYTHING for you, cook, clean, make sure you are fed, loved and comfortable in life and he's your FAVORITE!?"
I say:
That's wonderful Ladybug.
Damn... I am SO proud of myself.
