[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you get a personal invitation directly from step-mom, you have not been invited. What your DD wants, thinks should happen is not important - not even on her birthday. If you get the above invitation, I do think you should suck-it-up and go - then it's about your DD's happiness, not yours.[/quote]

WTF are you talking about? OF COURSE what DD wants - particularly on her birthday - matters and is important. [/quote]

Not in this case. She doesn't get what she wants when it forces her mother and step-mother and father into a very awkward, unhappy situation.

She can have a Mother/Daughter spa day or something instead of having her mom at her party. [/quote]

Of FFS, the girl can't really have two parties with friends and really shouldn't have to choose between parents.  Hard as it may be, this is the price you pay for marring someone and having a child with that person.  Whether OP was terribly wronged by her Ex-Husband is irrelevant. As a parent, you co-parent, and you show up.  It's not about the OP, as she well knows.  And the daughter here isn't forcing anyone int an awkward situation, that would have been Ex-Husband when he decided o cheat on his wife and family.  And notice that HE is the only one who isn't on the receiving end of ill will here. OP is mad at new wide (not her ex it seems), other posters are frustrated with DD for allegedly being responsible for an uncomfortable situation, and the cheating spouse just goes about his business.

Doing something different with her mother isn't "choosing between parents." She is having a party with her friends at her Dad's house and doing something else with her Mom.

Missing a birthday party isn't really worth all that drama. [/quote]
