Got an emotional punch in the gut this weekend. Just as I dropped daughter off at her mother's, she asked if I could pick her up every other weekend instead of every weekend.
I understand. She's getting older and more social. She wants to hang out with her girlfriends, who live in that section of town. She doesn't have a lot of time to spend with them except lunch and recess at school.
This day was bound to come. I had figured it would happen a couple years later than this, though. However, it's not dating. Just going to movies and hanging out with her friends.
I am happy she is becoming more social. I don't want the less social, anti-social, agoraphobic side of me to have a bad influence on her life. I want her to have a normal existence with no fear or apprehension of socializing.
Understanding and all of that doesn't make it suck less, though.
