Birthdays

Raggles's picture

Well it is sd22 birthday today and we dont get on. She barely speaks to me  and luckily we dont live together. Even this past weekend she walked in the room when SO and I are there and totally ignored me while trying to tell SO what to do. 

SO phoned me this evening, after spending the evening with his family and celebrating his daughters birthday. I wasnt invited, not that it matters as i wouldnt go.  However i asked how the evening went and he said fine but oh you didnt get SD22 a card - why not? 

Osd wedding

Raggles's picture

Long time since i have been on here but i need some advice from you wise people! 

Osd got married secretly 18months ago. Only myself, her dad and his parents know. She has kept it quiet from her sisters, mother and maternal grandparents and her husbands parents. 

She is now planning a big 'wedding' in May to which everyone is invited. 

I dont want to go! 

update on Osd meetimg

Date night last might and SO were out in a lovrly pub having a meal and a very much needed 'US' time.
Halfway through the meal he announced he was meeting OSD amd BM for a quick meeting prior to us going out in the afternoon on saturday
Meeting at 2pm but we need to leave at 2.30 at the latest.
I asked how come? Thought BM refused
SO: oh OSD made her feel guilty and told BM she was 'dissappointed' she wouldnt meet

Osd has got her way.

SO did tell me meeting was for 10 minutes only to which i replied 'whats the point?'

Omg OSD wants a meeting with SO and BM

Was told today that OSD22 wants to have a meeting with SO and her BM to discuss her future wedding plans.
SO let me know immediately she has asked him to do this and he has agreed.

While i have no issue with him doing this i dont understand the need for various reasons.

1. The most concerning one - she is already married!!! Though only myself, SO and SO parents know this!
2. The 'wedding' date is 2 years away
3. I personally can't see why there is a need to have this meeting unless she is expecting them to pay for her future charade.

anyone else think this is weird....

Eldest sd got engaged just before Easter this year. She announced 3 weeks later to daddy that they are getting married this Monday and she would like him there. This didnt go down well as SO and I are off on a little holiday..been booked since Jan.
Anyway she refused to change date and asked grandma instead to be a witness. Grandma laid it on the line about how upset dad was and she has now changed the date to Thursday so dad can go.

Hello.....
My daughter and I have flown over to New York for a short visit. Never been before and apart from the time difference we are loving every minute of this vibrant and noisy city.
Spent the afternoon today in central park, what a beautiful place that is, windy and chilly!!! Off to a broadway show tonight, Rockafeller centre and river cruise tomorrow.

sd19 acting like SO girlfriend

Raggles's picture

Watching tv with my SO and sd19 came and sat next to him. She then proceeded to swing her legs over him and lie across him.
He did nothing!

I got up and left the room, he then went outside so i followed and mentioned very calmly that it was not normal for a 19yo to sit on the sofa acting like girlfriend/boyfriend with her dad. He needed to put a stop to it or i was going home

we went back in and sat down and she tried it again, he did stop her and after 4-5 attempts she finally got the message and gave up trying.

Is this start of being excluded from sd life?

Its SO birthday next week and he asked to have sd9 for the evening so we can all go out for a family dinner. SO family do this for everyones birthday.
ExW emailed this eve stating Sd9 prefers to go to Brownies and a climbing wall experience rather than come out for meal. She compromised by allowing SO to collect sd9 from school but then must drop her at brownies.
Now i appreciate there has been compromise and for once Ex hasnt refused but SO is hurt and upset.

Biggest surprise ever was the presents i recieved.
One from the eldest skid (who currently lives with bf, and whom i havent seen for nearly 6months) the other present was from the next 2 skids.
I actually get on well with skid 3 but not skid 2 so another surprise there.
