My partner has 2 kids, his dd is 12. I have 2 dds 11 and 13.
His dd has been tricky, for a long time refused to meet up with us and would make herself scarce if I was around. Since getting to know my dds its been easier but its still tricky and im never sure about how to best handle such a delicate situation. I know she has also been difficult around her mums new partner, demanding he go home before she arrives back from her Dads etc.
So my current predicament. We arranged to see a movie tmrw. Been arranged and mentioned weekly. My dds have asked to bring friends and ive said no because i wouldn't want partners dd to feel uncomfortable or outnumbered. Tonight my partner says his dd wants to go out with her friends tmrw and when he asked about movie she said she forgot and then that she doesn't want to go.
If it were my 12 yo I'd say we've made plans sorry, it would be rude and inconsiderate to break plans at the last minute ....but that's me. I know dp hates upsetting her and she will be depending on that.
Aibu to feel a bit annoyed... my dd will be pretty disappointed and tbh i will too. On the other hand i know she is 12 and no doubt just wants her uncomplicated life back pre divorce....
