Would you bring a boyfriend/girlfriend to

Would you bring your boyfriend/girlfriend to your child's school conferences?
Tonight my second grader had school conferences. His dad did not show up. I found out during the conference that my ex and his girlfriend had a separate conference an hour earlier than I did. I am just disgusted and embarrassed by this. First of all, she has no business being there and it pisses me off that he is so immature that he inconvenients the teacher to have her do two separate conferences for our son.
His girlfriend has crossed the line many times. She encourages my kids to call her "mom". She has taken a family picture with my ex and our kids and she just gets involved in everything. For those of you who do not know, this is the woman my ex left me for.
Just wanted an opinion and wondering if I am being irrational by being so pissed off. My sister and my boyfrined think it is rediculous that he would bring her to conferences. Agree?????

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Forgive me if I cross the line here. As an educator - I see so many children of divorce who have dad's that NEVER even bother to have any involvement with their children's education. At least he is showing an interest in your children and his parental involvement shows the kids that dad values education.
The family pics with a GF? ouch - I have been there. It hurts. My first EX ( who left me when I was 4 months pregnant) brought th woman he left me for th the hospital 6 hours after I delivered our son. While this bothered me, as do many things she has said and done over the years, I had to accept the fact that no matter what I thought of this woman, she would be a part of my children's life. I had to swallow some pride and pray that she would show them love and accept them.
BIG HUGS FOR YOU FRIEND!
Well, my ex was getting his new gfs son to call him dad after 3 weeks, so there are crazier people out there, if that helps.
As far as your ex asking to have one at a seperate time(if it was impossible for him to show up during the timeslot), I think thats ok b/c its important that both parents stay active in the child's life.
My ex NEVER pushed any of her BFs on to the boys and included me in on any of the important matters that involved the boys.
Divorces are very hard on the children and the one who never wanted it:-(
We still don't have the bike or the rifle but the judge has said that x was to return any of our belongings to us...I am confident that when my attorney and I press the issue, the items will be in my son's possession once again.
Sorry but I think gfs need to know their place...it can be as a caring adult...but it's not as mama...and it's not their place to get involved in ANY issues between mom and dad as parents.
I think they are trying to "dig in thier heels" on thier new "territory". It's way beyond frustrating and it is innapropriate. About what you would expect from the OW..or she would not be the OW.
My guess id the the teacher seees this stuff for what it is. One of my son'
s teachers father left for another woman. She has been very supprtive and compassionate. My other sons' teacher is Divorced. Also compassionate.
The only people that they make look bad is themselves.
