[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who is currently in the middle of a mom/stepmom fight, this can be tricky to negotiate. (The stepmom is my neighbor and has the kids 50% of the time. The mom does not want me to be friends with her because she hates her.  :roll: ) I think if a step parent is involved in the kids' lives, then they should be invited, especially if they have 50/50 custody and they are connected to the school.

We have a few divorced parents in our neighborhood friend group, and my policy when I host something is to invite both the mom and the dad because I don't know who will have the kids and it's up to them who is coming/who is bringing the kids. (Obviously the parent who doesn't have the kids is also welcome to come, but I'm not keeping up with their custody schedules). Let them decide to come or not if their ex/ex's new spouse will be there. That's not your problem. [/quote]

Hmmm....actually that is helpful.  From what I can see there is no fight / negative situation.  They all 4 sit together at school concerts and things so I imagine they have the relationships to include each other if anyone wanted to join in.  And the spouses' could add them to the main parent group and haven't so it seems the step-parents are choosing to leave it to the parents[/quote]
