So we finally have a promotion schedule on our days....

Well I've been planning for months 2 graduation and 3 promotions...been so excited that after all this time my SS promotion felll on our day...been planning from what he wants to wear to what were gonna do this very special day...been making money lei n just getting ready to celebrate this special event....In the pass weve never had the opportunity to have the boys (my SSs) on the promotion day so weve always planned something special the day we get them back to show our recognition for their achievements..of course we attend the ceremonies n take our pictures..and respected the fact their mother has made plans for them....but this year the actual ceremony has landed on our day...like I said 3 promotions n 2 graduations ive been planning for months...and nowl a week before the ceremony my spouse ex, or SS mother tries to contradiction the court order so that ceremony falls on her day...we double check the order n call her out on it....now my spouse feels bad...

Im confused....im hurt...

I try so hard to have our family feel loved and treat all 7 of our blended kids the same and equal...so my week of our promotion and graduations were filled of fun excited planns n parties...

Well ex/SS mother asked to come along and do something together, as she knows I dont like her n dont like being around her fake self...its hard to have a conversation with someone who acts to be your friend but yet all her friends relay all the shit she talks about my kids n my family...and everything she feels I dont do or am doing wrong..but lof course leaves everything I have done and do for all my kiddos...its just hard to sit down with someone who has cause me so much greif...

We share 50/50 custody with my SSs..

Maybe try talking to your SO about this issue and how it makes you feel?

This is a tricky one since he probably doesn't want BM excluded...but too bad! You are not under any obligation to accommodate her. Maybe split the day--plan your stuff and then let her plan her own stuff later in the day?

Sounds like she's being a selfish twat.
