Sunday is father's day here. I invited my partner's sons (from ex#1) and SD (13) (from ex#2). Her mother never ever brings her here and I was prepared to pick her up, but she told my DP that she's do it on Saturday evening. So she comes at almost 11 pm with her boyfriend and wants to "congratulate my DP with father's day". We are not on good terms, but she's very sweet with him when she wants to. She wasn't even smiling when I asked her if I can pass him a message as he was putting our toddler to sleep.
It was very ackward and happened in front of my SD.
The thing is she was going to pick SD up on Sunday, so I found it weird that she wanted to see him tonight too.
My DP enjoys her "friendship" and I don't know what to expect tomorrow. What if she intrudes on our party as she's friends with ex#1 and the oldest stepsons? What would you do in my place? I don't want to make it too obvious to SD that I don't welcome her mother, but I'm not prepared to tolerate a woman who in my house treats me like an empty space, who according to me takes advantage of my DP and who has complained to my DP about me. Why is she even making all these efforts with my DP 6 years after their separation (only about 6 years together) and after 3 years with this boyfriend with whom things are apparently good?
