sigh... DSS (who has lived with us since last Summer) has parents' evening coming up.
The letter went to DH of course. We have terrible relationship with dh's exw. So does DSS who decided to come and live with us due to her making life pretty much unbearable for him.
DH and I were planning to go to parents evening with DSS as a) he lives with us and we are responsible for supervising and encouraging his studies and b) he rarely sees his biomum.
Now DSS's mum is saying she will come with us and try to stop me having anything to do with it as I am not his parent.
DH REALLY does not want to go with her. She has never included him in any parents evening relating to DSS when he lived with her (not that that is pertinent tbh). She is adamant that it is her business as she has been to all the other ones.
School wont allow separate session - it's together or not at all. Any advice? I say let her come and throw a scene in front of everyone - wouldnt bother me but DH would be mortified.
Alternatively - let her go on her own and we dont bother. DSS is thriving at school - straight As - and we dont have any concerns about his studies.
