We have 1 DSC (13) and 2 DC together. (7&10)

We go away most years on some sort of holiday... Weekend U.K. break, abroad, U.K. theme parks etc. We Always invite DSC but they have never wanted to be away from their mum or their mum has said no.

We are looking to book 3 weeks in Florida & universal for next year.

Aibu not to invite DSC this time? I can see her mum saying yes and then saying no at the last moment (she had done this once before).

I don’t want to waste money to be honest.

Dsc is already going to Orlando next year for 5 days with her mum & nan.

She doesn’t care about making anything easier for us. Not once has she made things even a bit easier.

In fact it sounds like quite the opposite. That she enjoys making your lives difficult, messing you around, disappointing your children, wasting your money. She seems to get a lot of satisfaction from it.

I've also wondered, reading this thread and what you've said about your generally good relationship with DSD, if maybe mother influences DSD not to go away with you - 'oh I'll be so unhappy if you go' sort of thing, so DSD says she doesn't want to go to please her mother.

Guavafish · 15/07/2021 01:06

You’re doing the right thing.

The mother needs to be more responsible for her behaviour. If she wants her daughter to go she can put a holding deposit.

I personally don’t think either are interested in this holiday

"Not that I care but DSC was no more then a fuck when my husband was bored."

Just about the most horrid way I have ever heard someone describe an innocent child on here. Plus why are you asking the mum to pay the DSC full holiday shouldn’t your OH be paying for half of her price .

Sadiecow · 15/07/2021 04:53

This is a person you're talking about OP! Not a bored fuck.

Poor child.

Sweetener12 · 15/07/2021 05:30

I can't imagine leaving one of the children out like that, tbh.

newomums · 15/07/2021 06:39

@Sweetener12

@FootballisgoingtoRome

OP has explained several times this was a typo and she wasn't referring to DSC.
But you would know that because she explains it right after that comment you left in bold

She's also explained why this has happened and she wants DSC on the trip and why what's happening is happening

I would read the updates from OP before trying to relight the anger.

BeaLola · 15/07/2021 06:44

@Ohanaa

DH is unsure. Neither of us want to chuck away what is thousands of pounds if dsc doesn’t come last minute or her mum says no.

DSC has never been away from mum for that long.

Also most of the trip is being covered by me as I have been gifted an amount of money recently from a family member and I want to create memories for my kids with it.

Says it all "your children ".
Sadiecow · 15/07/2021 06:45

@newomums of so his previous partner was no more than a fuck when he was bored! Which resulted in a child? Wow he sounds a right catch!

He didn't want a child, just a fuck?

He should've used contraception then shouldn't he?

The whole dynamic sound awful, they all sound awful to be honest.

To be honest the OP does sound very bitter about the mother of her DHs, a woman he chose to have a child with!

Can you actually read. I have said multiple times MUM was meant to be after DSC.

Jesus Christ. It wasn’t a way to describe the child.

Sadiecow · 15/07/2021 07:19

@Ohanaa it's still fucking awful thing to say, see you DSC you're the result of a bored fuck, that your father couldn't even be bothered to use contraception. He didn't want you, no love or respect for your DM, he was just bored.

I wonder why the relationship with the DM is poor, when that's how you describe her?

🤔

I don’t understand why people are so bothered when stepmums say this. There is a difference between child and stepchild, the relationships between mum-child and mum-stepchild are completely different.

The OP’s first thought was to give her own children an amazing holiday. What’s so wrong with that?

funinthesun19 · 15/07/2021 07:22

STEPmum-stepchild , not “mum-stepchild”.

Clearly this hit a nerve for you. Maybe someone’s described you like it and you’re bitter about it. I won’t apologise with how I phrased it at all. It’s true and I wrote it in defence for myself.

No he didn’t want to have a child with her. It wasn’t a choice he made. It was a casual arrangement and he hardly knew her to be fair. Having casual sex isn’t a crime. Millions of people do it everyday. She was just sex, just like Iv been just sex for others. It’s life, get over it.

Not that it makes a blind bit of difference to this situation but they used condoms and it split and it’s not like he can force her to get a morning after pill. I know this is true as she’s wrote multiple times while having a hissy fit that ‘she’s glad the condom split and she can make his life a misery’. Iv seen the texts in black and white myself before you want to say some utter bull.

I can’t see one thing I have to be bitter about Confused. I didn’t know him when she was sleeping with him but met him soon after... so I’m not the one that wanted to be his wife but got rejected so she’s made it her life long mission to make sure he’s not happy. I am the wife.

I’m also not the one who got pregnant by someone I was just having sex with. I tried to give my kids a stable home and made sure my relationship was secure first. Which it was ... still together over 10 years later Grin

So bitter I have suggested to DSC how about a beach day this weekend and we can do the baking on the other day. Super evil & super bitter.

Yawn.

There is nothing wrong with that. As far as I’m concerned I have TWO children.

WE have 1 DSC & 2 children (meaning myself and my OH)

Of course I want to give my children an amazing holiday and I won’t ever say sorry for making my kids happy.

@Ohanaa you couldn't be further from the truth about me, but you convince yourself that!

Your DSC will pick up on those black and white texts of her DF not wanting her! How will they feel then?

That women doesn’t deserve respect and no he didn’t love her. That’s not how ‘just fucking’ someone works.

Think you are projecting here. Someone’s upset by this one comment.

I’m sure even his mum doesn’t have texts from over 10’years ago.

And he went to court to get access so doesn’t scream ‘UNWANTED CHILD’.

But no he didn’t want her with DSC mum. She’s a nutter but DSC is here and he’s involved.

Of course she's a nutter! Makes you wonder why he chose her as a sexual partner?

A bored fuck with a bitter!

Nice!

He sounds wonderful, why didn't he go for full parental responsibility if she's a "nutter".

You sound worse with every post.

Sadiecow · 15/07/2021 07:40

@Ohanaa I do wonder about the DSM version of events?

Would it be along the lines of him and his DW refer to me as a nutter and a bored fuck. He spent my early pregnancy trying to convince me to have a termination.

They wonder why when they call me names etc, that I don't encourage a relationship.

Two sides to every story springs to mind here.

MzHz · 15/07/2021 07:42

I can’t actually think of a thread where the MN anti step mum brigade have tried harder to make a bad guy out of a woman who appears to be a thoughtful step parent, with realistic expectations

Ffs, if @Ohanaa was even 1% if an evil bitch step parent, she’s not have posted in the first place! She’d have thought all of the bullshit projection exhibited here, thought “fuck the inconvenient teen, who gives a shit anyway” and booked the fucking holiday.

Well we don’t call her a nutter to her face obviously and Why would we bring up how DSC was conceived over 13 years ago.

Some of us are adults and are capable of acting like it.

Lucky all the negative comments haven’t got to me and they won’t.

Specially @Sadiecow. They are just amusing since she’s banging on about the least important bit of the post.

I will make another thread as this one is full now.

To give a update after the weekend.

Thought I’d quickly post and take the last post before @Sadiecow writes some crap.
