A co-worker asked me about my step kids. I mentioned I have them on the weekends. My wife who also works in my building was upset that I mentioned they were coming over for the weekend. She assumes that they automatically judge her harshly because she doesn't have full custody... is this accurate of people?(in my wife's case it was a situation in which the father just had money for top lawyers and she did not)EDIT:Originally this was a comment but I made it an edit to clarify a bit:I am not very socially aware. She is much more attuned to how people actually think than I am. I suppose I think the best of people generally and she knows how they really think. I don't like talking to co-workers or strangers and never initiate these conversations. Somebody asked if we have kids and I answered step-kids. They said something that prompted me to respond they were coming over tonight (Friday).It didn't even occur to me the implications. I do now understand her position. I'm not upset at all. I just wish people wouldn't try to get to know me. hahahaha via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/35ht9gf
