Should I make my DD include her Half sister on her Bday trip?

[BamBamBambi]

Our Dds (11) birthday is next month. She has requested for her and 4 friends to go to the cinema and watch a movie and then get Pizza Hut after.

However it will be our weekend to have my dsd (14) and Iv mentioned to her about maybe letting her sister come along but she’s reluctant and doesn’t want her there. She wants it to be just her and her mates.

Im unsure if I should broach the subject again or let her have the birthday trip she wants as after all it is her birthday!

Normally this isn’t a issue as any gatherings have landed on the weekends we don’t have dsd.

Im leaning towards letting her have the trip she wants.

For context We also have a son that won’t be attending the cinema either so it’s not like she’s just leaving dsd out.

With that attitude your husband has to agree with you. Do you talk to him like that when you don't get your way.

In your post you used your son to justify leaving out your step daughter. If your daughter wanted to be with her friends only on her birthday and not her sister then that's fine. You don't need to use your son to justify it. You know how your step daughter will feel and that's why you have asked the question on Mumsnet. Posters don't know your SD you do. I will leave it at that and I hope your daughter enjoys her birthday.

Huh? Op wasn't doing anything of the sort. She was saying her dd was going with friends and her son was not going. That's not justification, it's a statement of fact.
I've read your posts and frankly you're being a bit ridiculous.

I will leave it at that

That's good to hear HotSummerLateNightStrolls as your posts are just unhelpful.
I am 100% up for holding different opinions for people - this is a discussion forum after all - but once posts move to just making stuff up it isn't a good look.

Her husband made a suggestion that her sister should go with them to the cinema. That's what the thread is about.

I worked hard bringing up my family and communication is important. We are a close family and I know by the responses on this thread it's not for every family. Some families don't get on and that's a shame. I work hard to ensure we are close.

I am reading from only what she has posted. It's easy to say your making it up. You don't know me or my family you can only go on what I post. I worked hard and as you know parenting is not easy.

Honestly just move on. Get a life. Find a hobby. Go do a puzzle or something.

It’s finished. I don’t care about your opinion and the fact you have to keep going on about how close your family are and how hard you work at it just makes me believe the opposite and they probably only contact you as you harass them like you keep doing on this thread.

It's an open thread I was responding to someone else. Your question has been answered you need to move on. Your update showed that you've organised everyone and you was happy with the outcome. What is making you hang on are you unsure you have made the right decision?
