My 4-year-old just said, "I love you, mommy." I'm not sure if I'm ready to say it back.
So she sprung that one on me after I made her a sandwich. It's not like I wanted to be her personal slave, but the neighbors have me shit for letting her share the dog's food. I thought sharing was a good value. Fuck me, right?
Anyway, I was blindsided when she threw that one on me and I don't feel the same way. It's a big step and I'm not ready for that kind of commitment. And who the fuck is mommy, anyway? She knows damn well my name is Karen!
There are too many red flags and I think I need to break it off. Any suggestions?
