A few weeks back, my sister and her girlfriends invited me to join them on a Girl Friend Weekend (GFW) in March.

Your girls are old enough that yes, they have their own things going on--it's not like they are

I think she's jealous.


Considering the posts that you have made about how well your girls and Sev and his girls have been getting along, I do not get that they are feeling abandoned and let out at ALL.

Wow...I am sorry that she burned off some steam at your expense.


I agree with the others...it sounds to me like she is jealous of your new relationship. Unfortunately I do not think that

I don't see anything wrong with going over schedules to ensure everyone knows what's going on!

Moon-


I sense jealousy is a factor also. Her comments were way of line and seemed to be attacking you for having your own style of parenting (which by the way sounds very responsible and reasonable to me). It's obvious you have their best interest and well being as your first priority.


I was appauled that your sis said that your girls are being abandoned by your dating SEV. That is a cold and mean thing to say. AND it is a pure gulit trip...with NO justification what-so-ever! Can she not see that you are happy and your familiys are blending very well? What business it is of hers as long as her nieces are happy?


So what if you go over a schedule in the morning. Personally I think that is a fantastic idea and I commend you for being so organized and concerned about who needs to be where and when. Your care and love of your girls comes in volumes and you just happen to be a mom who involves her kids in activities in which they love and they excel...and the problem in that IS???


I don't understand her tirade. I'm sorry you have to deal with a drama queen sister, with her nose in your business negatively. I would have had a really hard time with the In Your Face Lecture...


Hmmm, about the girls week. I really don't think it is any of their business why you are not going to go. You don't owe them an explaination. But if you would like to give them one then maybe you could say that you have a committment in which you can not be absent, and leave it at that. I think that I would probably pay the deposit, just to avoid waves.


Chin up my friend- You ARE a great mom...don't let anyone ever make you doubyt yourself. You are awesome.

As for the payment on deposit, I wouldn't pay it.
