This is really just a rant over the whole stepkid thing and I know there's nothing to be done but need to vent a bit....
I have a good friend, don't have many friends, lots of aquaintances but don't seem to have friends, but I have known r for about 8 years now. I met her when I went back to uni after my divorce with my 4 year old ds... She is about 13 years younger than me but we hung out etc and get on really well, she was my chief bridesmaid when I married dh and is dd's non-god parent and basically an aunty to ds... She has met dsd (15) a couple if times and always gives her gifts etc but dsd blanks her totally whereas ds and dd cuddle her etc...
R is getting married this year and asked dd to be her flower girl, the wedding is about 5 hours away so we will need to stay over the night before and the night after.... I have looked into accommodation and basically if we take dd, ds and dsd we are looking at £300 plus food/drinks/travel/outfits etc.... If secular take dd and ds it's £100 as both 12 or under at the time!
Dh has said if dsd doesn't go ds can't go either... I can see what he is saying but dsd has no relationship with r whereas ds really does have and will be gutted to miss seeing aunty r being married!
Arghhhh it's so frustrating! Oh well....
