[quote=Anonymous]Two questions - how close are these relatives to your DS's step-mother? If these are people who will be in DS's life for awhile (even though he hasn't met them yet), that is different than distant cousins visiting from abroad who your DS will never see again. I think there is some benefit in step-mother and her family being invested in your child and being there to support him. Would exDH be willing to pay for the relatives to attend? Would that be an acceptable solution for you? The bottom line is that if you think that including these people will benefit your son's relationship with his father's side of the family, it might be worth considering. If they are just using your son's event to entertain out-of-town relatives, I wouldn't do it. I would also be wary about saying yes and then having some or all of these people "no show" the day of because they weren't consulted about attending this event for a kid they don't know.[/quote]
