My 8-year-old stepdaughter wants to have her 4 friends over for a sleepover party for her entire birthday weekend. My husband’s ex-wife won’t host it because she says her house is “too small.”
I said NO because that’s too much work for me, plus I need my weekends to rest from my highly demanding job. Besides, this should be the mom’s responsibility, not mine.
My husband smirked and declared, “Well, you can go and sleep at your mom’s house, and we will have my ex-wife over living with me for the entire weekend and taking care of the kids.” He said that knowing too well that his words would make me even angrier.
I stood my ground and insisted that having 4 kids over for a full weekend is something I cannot accept. But my husband said, “In that case, forget about us hosting your parents every Sunday for lunch. If my own daughter won’t be able to host whom she wants in her own home, then neither should you!”
I am still convinced that this sleepover should not be my responsibility. Am I wrong?
