That does stink Pom--Be happy that you and his real family are the ones he will be spending his birthday with. I can bet anything that he's secretly happy about it . I think celebrating with him and your granddaughter together will be a great occasion to remember. Bet you all have loads of fun, just put the other one on the shelf for that day. She just is not worth getting upset over, ignoring her will make your day and your grandson's day memorable if you dwell only on the love you all share.
Wish him and your granddaughter a huge Happy Birthday and take lots of pictures, something to be treasured forever.
You know that old saying " What goes around , comes around"-- just remember that it will someday.

I have the same complaint about my stepkids' mother. She ignored them, never sent them gifts or cards. I never met the woman face to face and am glad I haven't because she would have gotten a few choice words. The funny thing is she HAS gotten her payment. None of her kids want anything to do with her. The on who DID want to know her and forge a relationship now refers to her by her first name (and its said with bitterness) and he lets anyone know how he feeels about mommy dearest.
You always reap what you sow when it comes to loving a child. I could never understand how she didn't want to know her kids. They were all different, all good kids. Yeah, we had growing pains while they tried to figure out their way in life, but everyone does. She will never know her kids now. Nothing she will ever say or do will repair their relationship.
