The married dad has two kids: a child of secondary-school age, from a previous relationship, and a younger child, who is soon to start school, with his wife of eight years. Throughout his new relationship, the dad has enjoyed an 'excellent' co-parenting relationship with his ex, according to his current partner. As she explained in a post to Mumsnet, the pair don't split childcare '50/50', as the dad sometimes works away. But his firstborn visits 'regularly', albeit 'not as often as they did say pre-Covid', as the stepchild 'has a life with shows and dance classes'. During their eight years of marriage, the youngster has not spent much time with her step-mum's family, however. According to the woman: "My parents were always pleasant but rarely saw them to form a relationship. Husband asked if stepchild could be included in holiday and offered to pay, my parents insisted on paying and had a reasonable time." Meanwhile, her parents have previously been left off the invite list for a joint meal for the children, who celebrate their birthdays a few weeks apart, as they don't buy a present for the stepchild. So when the step-mum's sister planned her wedding, the happy couple decided not to invite the stepchild. "I was not shocked, my sister barely knows them and [brother-in-law] has never met them. They will be spending the week before solely with their Dad and week before that with all of us. The weekend of the wedding back with mum," the woman wrote. But her husband declined his invitation because his older child was not invited. It was then that the step-mum turned to the website's 'Am I being Unreasonable?' forum. "My sister just won't invite them when I asked as they could be with moth){kind=link}
