But if it would make me feel guilty for not saying something, then I will.
Adult step children, they never did anything on their own accord. I always did the gift buying wrapping etc and I want to be like- naw- not my problem anymore, they’re adults now!
But would I feel guilty if my husband received nothing from his kid on his bday? Yes. So I micromanage because it saves me a butt load of guilt and hard feelings that maybe no one else would think, but I do.
Because I’m autistic? Because I’m extra sensitive and overthink everything?
Maybe. But it makes me feel better knowing I did my part.
