Hi,
Wanted to know peoples opinion on a new partner attending sports day? I have been asked what I thought to him attending our children’s sports day.
Should this be a parents only event? I have never met him before so don’t think school is the place to first meet.
i would say forget it. my ex will just be a pain in the *** if i even bring up sports day, so not bothering.
Is she telling you or asking you? If asking - perhaps say that you're unsure whether it's the appropriate venue for you to meet as you don't want to create any awkward atmosphere for your child?
Well she asked “what do you think to X coming to sports day”
I replied saying uncomfortable and I should be able to enjoy my child’s sports day... then she just went on about me having to meet him sometime, they will stand away from me etc... didn’t really listen to my reply.
So sports day is today and she’s taking him... apparently it’s what the kids would want and they come first.
