Dear Queenie,
My husband and his first wife shared custody of their children until the kids reached adulthood and they still are is still on good terms. Now that the kids are grown up I don’t see why she still has to be around for family occasions and holidays and the like.
Queenie, am I being unreasonable?—Jealous of the ex-wife
Dear Jealous,
Face it: Even though his children are now adults, your husband’s ex is still part of their family, so any occasion that involves them, such as holidays, their birthdays, weddings, etc., will probably include her. However, I see no reason why she should be included in your personal special occasions, even if the children are.
