[quote=Anonymous]If this is an open, public event you need to teach her that that means he has a right to be there and so does she (the step-mother). If this is a closed, private event but any parent is entitled to attend with the guest of his or her choice, you need to teach her that means he has a right to be there and so does she. If this is a closed, private, ticketed event and she is alotted tickets, you can tell her that technically she has a right to offer only one ticket, but that she needs to think long and hard about what it would mean not to offer them two tickets. She needs to think 4+ years down the road when she has a significant other and wants family approval, and what that would feel like to have her choice in partner rejected by her family. Remind her that 50% of marriages fail, and that you and your ex-husband and his wife have been working to be cordial and the best co-parents you can possibly be.[/quote]
