On the Board

My ex has a daughter with someone else. He's involved...but hardly. I wished he would have been more involved with her.
My question is...I want our sons to know who their "sister" is and vice versa. I can't expect my ex to get the kids together because of how uninvolved he is with his daughter. Would I be in the wrong if I called her mother up and asked if we could take the kids to the park, and such? I wasn't the evil stepmom. I was actually a pretty supporting stepmom given the circumstances (they had a one night stand, and we found out about the pregnancy after we started dating).
I was just wondering if I would be out of line wanting the kids to hang out more, and if I owuld be worng to influence that. I can't expect the ex to do it.

Hi Meggin,

This is a hard one to call and a very personal decision. If you feel strongly that you would like for the kids to get to know each other then you should try contacting her. Hopefully at worst all you end up with is a bad telephone conversation. At best, maybe things work out and the kids get to be friends.

I see no harm in this, all she can do is say no. I think it would be cool with me if the rolls where reversed. Peace

What have you really got to loose? A few minutes of your time. Just explain to her what you are doing and why, see what she says. If she does say no then you could leave the door open for her. Let her know she can call if she changes her mind. If she say Yes, well then you have done something really great for all the kids involved.
Good luck and God bless.

That's what I figured. There isn't much I can loose. If she says no, I figure that shows me how much she wants the kids to be involved with each other. The EX might get upset about it, but then maybe it'd make him start getting the kids to be more active with each other.
