I'm going to go against the general group and say ask for the dinner. DB-ing aside, this is a special moment for your D. Let it be about her.
If you are doing it to get together with your W, then forget it. But if you are there solely for the purpose of supporting your D and congratulating her for her efforts, then ask. Only you would know if you can be distant enough to act accordingly.
Stuck,
I have really been handling myself quite well. I haven't asked W about doing anything together with the kids in some time. I think I will hold off here. I can always take D11 to celebrate Sunday night when I get her and D7 back for the week. There is also a good chance that W's mother will be there and that may kill any sort of celebration afterwards if they already have plans.
Probably best to just to not go forward with it. I think I will just show up and see the performance. If things look good during that time, maybe I will. But I need to monitor whether there is even a shot at an after performance dinner celebration with the 4 of us.
I appreciate the input though,
Kevin
