Does anyone do this?? STBXH asked if his new(ish) gf could come to parents evening with us next time. I said it was fine, but I think I only said it because I was so surprised by his request! I don't think she should come, they are our children not hers. Does anyone's new DP come with them to parents evening?? I wouldn't dream of taking mine, but maybe that's just me.

Tell him that you've mentioned it to a couple of people you have known in the same situation and all have expressed amusement and puzzlement that she would try and go. Say something along the lines of 'It sounds like the reception would be somewhat embarrassing for all of us but most of all for her. My first thought was indeed that it would be an odd and inappropriate thing for her to do but I felt it would be unfair to go on that without asking a few unbiased opinions. It seems that most people would conclude that she was being pretty interfering to gatecrash something specifically for the parents. So no I don't think it's a good idea.'
