I picked up SD for the first time today

My husband had an award lunch today, about 1 hr away, and rather than going early with him, I opted to drive myself. I offered to pick SD up, so she didn't have to sit there and wait why the people getting awards took pictures and did a run through of getting the awards. BM said I could pick her up, so I got her from her grandma. Grandma is super nice, gave me a hug and we chatted for a few minutes.
SD, DD and I were in the car on our 1hr drive to Los Angeles, she was pretty chatty... and a song came on and she says "My Mom says this song reminders her of my Dad". The song is called Without You, by Usher (I think), is't a song about someone who lost their love and can't do things without them. I changed the subject with SD, but I am kind of surprised. I would of never thought she had any sort of feelings for him still, or even missed him. Of course H started laughing when I told him. I hope SD doesn't tell her Mom that she told me. We are on pretty good terms, and I'd hate for her to feel weird around me.
Other than that, my blended family has been non eventful. Oh, but we are having an 8th grade graduation party with BM1 (the other BM) next weekend, and it should be pretty interesting. BM1 and I had a huge fallout a couple of years ago, and we've been repairing our relationship, but it is still a little weird.
Hope everyone is doing good.

"Karma1969: If baking someone a birthday pie/cake is romantic, I must be a slut."
That is super embarrassing for BM that SD said that. How old is she? Geesh that song literally just came out and she still has strong enough feelings about your H for her to think of him that way? That would be a little uncomfortable for me.
Honestly I would have H mention it to her. At least she will be too embarrassed to make stupid comments like that to her daughter any more. It's hard for kids when they think one paret cannot move on and the other has. She needs to keep those comments to herself or share with a friend not her child.
I wouldn't have thought in a million years to tell BM but after seeing PP I kind of agree. Maybe a simple txt (If I was H I wouldn't be able to tell her to her face with a straight face) so she doesn't do it agian. But OMG how funny! I can't believe she would say somthing like that.
I used to JOKE with DH that I'm sure both BM's were singing "someone like you" because one of them would not go away for the longest time but never in front of the kids!
Things have been pretty quiet on the BF front, so I haven't posted much. Which is GOOD
SD is 6, and she is a little talker. She told me all sorts of things that she thought were funny
And some of there were!
Things have gotten better with the other BM. The BBQ that she is planning for my SS's 8th grade graduation, was her idea and she is doing it at my in-laws house. My MIL was a little nervous about doing at first, because BM just wanted it to be, her, her boyfriend, her parents, and then H, myself and my in-laws. But she ended up inviting the rest of the families.
Right! It's weird because she puts on a front that she can't stand my H. That song is pretty deep too. My H would never say anything to her, he would be afraid it would upset her and then cause problems. Then she would probably get upset at SD and she would get in trouble and I would probably never get to pick her up again! Althought I would LOVE to see the expression on her face if she knew!
