It's Dss's 16th birthday at the weekend. DP asked me if I fancied going to another town with him and his two sons to celebrate (cool resteraunt). I said yes - assuming he meant my sons too. But no, apparantly there won't be room in the car for my kids as DS1 (not his birthday) wants to take his girlfriend.
This happens a lot. It happened with a car show a few months back. We'd arranged to go (me, my ds and his two ds's) and then all of a sudden we arrived at a "car issue" as DSS's girlfriend was now coming. Not once does it occur to DP to get rid of the girlfriend out of the equation so that there is room in the car for me and my kids - it always comes down to getting rid of me or my kids to make room for the girlfriend.
I know at 18 first girlfriend is a massive deal and of course they want to be together 24/7 but surely as a family we fill the car first and anyone else can come along if there is room??
I'm getting totally sick of being pushed out of things because of his girlfriend (who is a lovely girl btw, that isn't the issue).
