[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do it under the condition that x-DH, stepmom and her mother meet me and DD for lunch a few weeks/days before the wedding.[/quote]

Aside from the fact that this sounds like the least fun lunch of my life, there’s probably not time to make this happen. DD’s presence was requested late last week and the wedding is early next week.

The more I write about this, the more I’m convinced that the whole request is absurd and she doesn’t need to go.   [/quote]
This would not be for anyone’s pleasure. This woman is going to be in your child’s life to at least some extent. Her mom is planning to babysit for this event, hence the reason you should meet/screen her.[/quote]

Or she could just say no. Jeez.

It is one hour, not on his parenting time, during which he is not planning to spend time with his child and has arranged an unknown adult to "watch her" for the hour.

If he really wanted to make sure that his child was included in the event, he could have planned better/differently/at all. It is not OP's responsibility to facilitate a relationship with the new wife of her ex-husband who cheated on her and left her for the other woman. She does not need to bend over backward trying to accommodate this ridiculous situation and prostrate herself being pleasant to these people. That is her ex's responsibility. Why should OP prioritize it in the slightest??[/quote]

Well, one reason she could be easy to get along with by doing this admittedly stupid favor for him is that he may try to fight for more custody in the future, especially with a new wife in the picture and potentially wanting more of a “family” or also paying less child support. OP sounds like she has no interest in that, but her daughter is only 3 and it’s going to be a long road ahead. [/quote]
