She Got Into A Fight With Her Ex-Husband After Telling Him That She And Their Kids Didn’t Want To Go To A Mother’s Day Brunch His New Wife Put Together
As if being in a blended family wasn’t difficult enough, drama over planning holidays can make everything more stressful.
One woman recently fought with her ex-husband after telling him she and their kids don’t want to go to a Mother’s Day brunch his new wife is hosting.
She’s 34-years-old and has a very interesting family life. She married her husband, Tim, when she was in her 20s. Tim has two children from his marriage with his first wife, Tara. Their names are Billy and Charlotte.
At first, she and Tara had a rocky relationship, but they became a lot closer when she and Tim started having their own kids. They have a son and daughter together, Adam and Maggie.
“Tara and I had some difficulty at the beginning, but when I became a mom myself, we had more in common, and we began to build an actual relationship,” she remembered.
“Unfortunately, that relationship was cut short when Tara got sick and passed three years ago.”
Before Tara passed away, she asked her to look after her kids and treat them as her own, so she became very close and protective of Billy and Charlotte.
Unfortunately, she and Tim couldn’t work things out in their marriage, and their family had to split up. The stress of having four kids started getting to them, and she found out that Tim was spending a little too much time with his coworker, Amanda.
Tim ended up marrying Amanda, who has a son named Robbie, and Billy and Charlotte live with him. They have split custody of Adam and Maggie.

After getting divorced, she asked if she could keep in touch with Billy and Charlotte, and she did. She told her step-kids she’d always be there for them, and they occasionally stay at her house at the same time as Adam and Maggie.
It’s a system that’s been working for them, but she recently had a huge blowout with Tim over their Mother’s Day plans.
Since Tara passed away, she’s taken all of the kids to visit her grave on Mother’s Day and allows them to share their favorite memories of her and express their feelings before heading to her favorite breakfast spot. But this year, Tim and Amanda wanted to host a brunch for everyone instead.
“I did not see a reason for this and declined on behalf of myself and my bio kids,” she explained. “I checked in with my step-kids, and they hated the idea as well.”
All the kids preferred their usual Mother’s Day tradition and didn’t want to spend the day with Amanda. Upon hearing this news, Tim freaked out and called her names. He then threatened not to allow the kids to see her on Mother’s Day, even if it was her week with them.
“I don’t think I should be forced to spend my Mother’s Day with my ex, his new wife, and step-kid,” she added.
Do you think she was in the wrong for not encouraging her kids to go to the Mother’s Day brunch?
