Dear Queenie,
My husband’s ex-wife says nasty things about us to his grown-up children, so we do not want to include her when we have family events. However, they seem to think that because she is single and “alone” she should be included whenever they all get together.
Queenie, how do we handle this?—Annoyed stepmother
Dear Stepmother,
Apparently your stepchildren still have a good relationship with their mother. Be kind. You do not have to include her all the time, but do so once in a while.
