[quote=Anonymous]Divorced exDH several years ago, he is remarried, I am in a relationship. Our DCs are OK with our partners. Our relationship is rocky at times but we try to stay polite. Our eldest DS has a bar mitzvah coming up in 2 weeks. I am footing the bill since I am the one who's Jewish and exDH is not. It's a big event, our families will be there. exDH texted me a few days ago saying (not ASKING!) that he is bringing his wife and HER RELATIVES (6 people) to our DS bar mitzvah. They've recently arrived to this country, have been staying with them so far, and it wouldn't feel "appropriate" to leave them behind on such an important event and that they are oh so excited. DS has never met these people, our guest lists have been made up for almost a year and now this? I told exDH "no" and he is throwing a fit. He tried to get a hold of our DS and guilt-trip him into inviting these people at the last moment. I think this is coming from the stepmother, maybe she wants to feel included.

WWYD? I really don't want to pay for people I don't know, my DS doesn't know. It's 6 extra people, not just one.[/quote]
