Is there something wrong with this picture? I think so.
I was talking to my daughter about who she wanted to invite to her going up party, "She's in Head Start and going into Kindergarten and they're going to have a pic nic. Well, I was asking her who she wanted to invite and of course she said everyone on my side of the family then I asked about her dad, she said no and I asked her if she was sure and she said no, so I asked her do you want your dad there, she just looked at me and said yes. I asked about her grand parents on her father's side, she said yes. I asked about her brothers on her dad's side, she said yes. Now this had been hours ago right? Now, just about an hour ago, she came up to me and told me she wanted this guy I use to date to come. Now this is what gets me. I had to ask her about her father and his family, but she came to me on her own about the ex boyfriend. The guy I was seeing, I was only seeing him for a month and she wasn't even around him very much

Why do you feel this way?
Any theories as to why a 5 year old would want to invite an ex, rather than their other parent?

All she ever says is that she doesn't like him, she hates him, she wants to be with me, or she just doesn't want to go.
Don't worry, I don't plan on inviting the ex B/F lol.

to invite both her dad and your xbf would not be the best of situations for her or you so i would say don't o that. but i m wondering y she does not want her dad there. there are several reasons y she may not want him there and the only one that can answer that is her. if he is not a part of her life then she may not be that comfortable having him around. or if you and him were always fighting and arguing when you were together she may not want him around because she does not want it to happen again. or worst case he is abusing her in some way when she goes to see him and is too afraid to talk about it. i would talk to her and ask her y she does not want him there and if she gives you a good reason as to y she doesn't want him there then dont invite him. Best of luck to you

Don't think you should have it your child seems a bit confused.Why not just invite a few of her friends and picnic in the garden.

Even the littlest thing might be a big thing to a child. Maybe she has fond memories relating to him, for ex. going to the zoo, parties, chuck e. cheese

Maybe she is trying to protect you. She may have heard you speaking about how uncomfortable you are around him and she feels it is her job to keep you happy.
