Hi all, I have been a long time lurker and have soaked up so much advise as I have made my way down the SP path. I now have a situation that Im hoping people could advise me on.
Bit of background DSD will be 5 me and my partner have been together 2 years lived together for 6 months all well and DP has a good relationship with ExDP.
DSD Birthday is in a few weeks time and we will be seeing her the Sunday before her B-Day. DP wants to celebrate with his family mine and friends etc with a BBQ, great.
My problem is (and maybe Im over thinking a bit I tend to) is he wants it to be a full on party for her, games, party bags for family/friends children, decorations etc however has the inspiration of most men and would not have a clue what games to play, how to organise party games/party bags etc. He has asked me to help sort this which I would love to as me and DSD have a great relationship but I'm worried about overstepping. Am I over thinking this, I really don't want to step on ExDP toes but my DP really wants to do this for his DD should I stop worrying and just do or should I hold off? Also do you sign your name in the same card as DP? All silly things but from experience it's the silly things that can upset the apple cart?
