I am used to being rejected by parents. It comes with the terrirory..they don't tend to want their sons involved with a single mother who has a pierced tongue and bellybutton, I suppose it unsettles them. Brian's mother hated me from the moment she met me until the moment I told her I was pregnant...In fact, I think she still hates me. I should call her. Joshua's family accepted me, but never quit staring at me as if I shouldn't exist, but Simon's mother was different.
She received me with open arms, a big smile, and a 'I hope you can keep him in line'...she had dozens of parenting tips and wanted to start planning the wedding with me five minutes after we met. She gushed about how happy she was it was me he was engaged to..apparently all he told her was it was 'one of the girls off of American Idol'...now, that floored me. Why would she prefer me over Kelly, Christina, or Tamyra??? I suppose I looked stunned, and she laughed a little, telling me that they were wonderful, beautiful girls but they had a lot of growing up to do...Obviously, we're all kids here! What I think she meant is that I have matured faster than normal because I had to take care of my son. I suppose it aged me mentally...and I think that's what she was referring to. She wants to meet Tristen as soon as possible, which thrilled me to death.
She's so wonderful, Simon...and I see where you get all the good qualities I see in you.
