[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your ex tried to get out of it gracefully, and you pushed it. [/quote]

I agree.  Your DD asked to go when she wasn't invited.  Your ex kind of balked and that's when I would've told DD that it probably isn't the best idea.  The new GF really had no say in the matter so I can understand why she was upset.  Next time, teach your DD not to invite herself and all will be fine.[/quote]

How about instead of that...next time, her ex-husband doesn't brag to his own kid about excursions he's taking with other kids--especially, when he's ass enough not to want his own kid to come along.[/quote]

It isn't bragging to say what you are doing on the weekend. dad has two weekends a month when he is with gf and her two kids. Is he always supposed to act like they aren't doing anything? If OPs DD asked what are you doing to day Daddy - he likely just answered the question. He can't lie about his life. That is part of divorce - the kids learn that the parents lives go on when they aren't with them. It seems like Ops DD gets quite a bit of time with dad (if gf's claims are true that they spend half the month with him). It also doesn't mean he doesn't want his child along by following the custody order. I doubt OP invites her kids to everything she is doing on the weekends the kids are with dad - and it isn't because she doesn't want them along - it is how visitation and custody work.

In this case dad messed up by inviting her without checking first. He should have just told her this was Mommy's weekend and he would see her x and they could plan a museum day soon. Once he invited her he should have stuck with it and not gone back on his word. GF was in the wrong in her attitude.

Don't agree with you though that dad was bragging and is an ass for not taking his kids on non custody weekends.
