[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 56473, member: 3837"] EB-No, there are not times they visit DHs ex. Her rights have been terminated and her family does not have contact. We want to keep it that way. We are waiting just a few more weeks for her appeal time to pass before we start the adoption process. There have been times the difficult children go with my DHs family and we let the PCs go out with mine, thats okay with me. It just stinks that 2 years in a row the PCs are getting picked for a big trip. Plus, husband's parents don't stick to my youngest difficult children diet. Which now makes it much more difficult to let them go. I think I really upset my dad by pointing out what I felt was obvious. I also think it upset him, that I threw his theories back at him that he so often likes to use on me. I was really upset with his decision to do this and to tell me that I couldn't take the difficult children myself becaues they weren't invited. Maybe I was too harsh in the heat of the moment, but its just so unfair to them. I remember feeling like a stepchild and it doesn't feel good. I hate that anyone I care about would make them feel this way. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it doesn't bother them, but it would have bothered me if I were one of them in that situation. Thanks everyone for the advice. [/QUOTE]
