[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on whether attending creates stress. If stepparent’s attendance detracts focus from kids then stepparent shouldn’t attend. [/quote] Best response. [/quote] I totally agree. And it doesn't have to be all or nothing, either. I am not yet in this position, but I think it would REALLY bug me if my X DH's new partner decided to show up to every tiny thing ... especially if my DH himself didn't show! But it would also be unhealthy if they never came at all. So it's a balance. Come to a few events, but don't make a huge show of coming to every single one. Let the biomom enjoy having the event to herself sometimes. [/quote]
