Drama with the ex baby mama!

Erin Wood, on July 5, 2017 at 3:05 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 105

FH got this text today from his ex gf (daughters mom). It's 3 days before the wedding and she's bringing it up now?? FH and I did not invite her because we are not friends with her. She has disrespected me on numerous occasions and her and FH can't stand each other longer than 2 minutes. We were not going to invite her just for the sake of her seeing her daughter be our flower girl. Just having her and her bf there would have been incredibly awkward. FH ex wife (sons mom) is a good friend of ours so of course she was invited along with her wife and their baby. They were one of the first people we told of our engagement. Just not what I even need to be thinking about right now. Ugh!

    If the only relationship you two have with this woman is negative, I don't blame you for not inviting her.

    Dude, it's not like it's a recital or sports game she will miss her daughter participating. This is weird. Stand your ground.

    You let your FH deal with it, and you smile and nod when she walks in the room like nothing happened.

    Honestly I would have for the simple fact that her daughter IS the FG. Who will look after her after the ceremony? Either way, you didn't invite her and you'll be just as married in 3 days!!

    Yea a good time to set boundaries. Why would she even want to be invited? Just because her daughter is a flower girl? So weird and inappropriate to ask to be invited.

    I 100% would not have invited my son's father to my wedding just because my son was in the wedding. Nothing wrong with you not inviting the kids mother to this - it is about you two as a couple, exs, even when they are parents of children together, have no place at your wedding if there is no relationship with them other than co-parenting. She sounds like she is just trying to cause drama. I would not let this get to you because that is most likely what it is about.

    People seriously think you should've invited this woman? Hell no. She can see a pic of her daughter as flower girl.

    No, she should not have invited this woman just because her daughter is a flower girl. That is not how it works. Can't believe some pp's think this. The daughter likely has lots of family attending the wedding on her father's side, so inviting her makes no sense given the OP and her FH have a strained relationship with her.

    This is an open request for her to misbehave. NO! Strict boundaries need to be in place. Legal help should be in place also. Send her FG pics later.

    Ew god I already can't stand her. She can see pictures for heavens sake.

    So sorry. We have a mixed family ourselves and I find it so rewarding to have amicable relationships with the ex's when it's possible for the kids sake. But some people just aren't nice and we can't change that!

    I don't think you need to invited exes to your wedding just because of mutual children. It is a little odd you invited your ex but not his, but that's really none of her business. She sounds like a pain the ass, sorry you have to deal with that. Try your best to block it out...being happy and planning a wedding really brings the crazy out in some people FFS!!

    What?!? Why would you invite that to what is a special day for you and your FH! I have never heard of inviting exes unless you had some sort of real friendship! She wanted to be invited so she spread some shade on your wedding that is all. She isn't wanting to come because she cares she wants to come because she is nosey!

    I would stand your ground. She doesn't need to be there just for that, she can see pictures after the wedding!

    On the same lines my ex husband of 20 years we are very sociable even somewhat friends bc of our kids. But our kids are alot older. Twins 26 and youngest 17. Our kids are in my wedding . Ex husband isn't invited. I would find it awkward!

    I would not invite my ex and anyone he is dating to any of our events EVER. He would intentionally ruin everything. No thank you.

    IF you had a good relationship with her and things were kosher, then sure. But not if the ONLY reason she wants to be there is because the kid is a FG. Nope. That's a big HELL NOPE. 7 years and counting in and out of court will make you a skeptic.

    I like the other opinions. Send her some damn pictures. No she is not invited.
