Baby Grace's 2nd birthday party is Sunday. We were never asked to attend...just told "we are having cupcakes on Sunday".

DH phoned his DD and he was told her Mom will be there...so we cannot go. Then she feels badly, then her Dad, my DH, feels badly for asking.

If anyone is contemplating divorce, DON'T...if it involves kids. The future may hold a new step-parent, hence "issues".
It's just terrible. DH is always the one who gets jilted, uninvited. I feel so badly for him.

It's really my fault, though. I'd asked him if we should just pop over there (5 hrs away) but he said "We were not invited". I then proceeded to say that "when do you have to BE invited by your own kids?". But with divorce in the picture, I guess you do.

My parents were not divorced, so I just invite myself.

Anyway, thought I'd vent!
