OK, tell me if I'm weird here. The other night I went out to dinner with a bunch of relatives -- basically, my uncle and his family. Both my grandmother and my mother asked if my uncle's ex-wife was there. (She lives here.) Why on earth would she go out to dinner with her ex-husband and his current wife and their son? Granted, her two children were there, but there's plenty of other time for her to see them.
She did go to my cousin's wedding shower, at my current aunt's house, which was kind of a Big Deal, but ultimately fine. And just added to the family lore about how excellent Current Aunt is, especially in comparision to Cousins' Mother.

I had a friend who dated a guy who was still legally married to his wife (they've since divorced), even though they had been separated for years. She visited him once and spent the weekend hanging out with him, his wife and his mother in law. Yes, she thought it was weird. They're no longer together.

My mom has done some family stuff with dad and stepmom but, if it wasn't something like my birthday, it was years after the fact. She did stay for one Mother's Day lunch which was nice because I didn't feel pulled in too many directions during a holiday for once. But, even with a totally amicable split nearly 30 years ago, the occasions are few and far between. She came to my cousin's memorial just before I moved north which was very nice and very touching.
Yeah, they've all seen each other at graduations and weddings and whatever, but not for a random visit.
Flea, cute video. I was just waiting for him to finish with "My preciousssss!"
IOridiculousN, in my stocking, I got Pop Rocks that claim they "turn into gum!" Well, nsm. It's pop rocks AND gum in there.
Anyone got any opinions on Northwest?
My dad flew Northwest to Alaska this summer and had the worst flight ever. However, they were in the middle of their pilots' intentional slowdown (next step down from a strike), so I'm sure that's why he got stuck in Minneapolis overnight instead of making his connections.

My dad hosted dinner a few days before my sister's wedding in October for those of us in the immediate family including my mom (his long-time ex), but we've only had meals together on special occasions like that a handful of times in the nearly 30 years they've been divorced.
I flew Northwest to Cleveland recently. Aside from getting stuck in Cleveland from the weather, the entire trip went very well. They were nice enough in the face of travel disaster and airport shutdowns.

My stepfather's ex-wife stayed at the house with him and my mom during some holiday event. I mean, the whole family was there but still. Weird.
