UGH!! I can't IMAGINE being FORCED to attend a party Exhole was having @ his house for DS. I would sooner walk on broken glass on my knees than be around him/his family for DS's birthday party!!

We have ALWAYS had his family/my family b'days for DS. It WAS a problem in the elementary years because they would ALWAYS have DS's party FIRST, invite ALL the class/Scout Trout/Sunday School class, and then when *I* had DS's party the weekend after -- there was no one left to invite.

After 3 or 4 years of stewing about it, I made the decision to let go and ENJOY DS's birthday parties on a smaller scale. We would pick 4-6 of his best friends and do a 'fun party'. If the kids had been to his Dad's blowout party, I would stress they didn't have to bring another gift for DS.

We went camping one year up by a nearby lake. The boys slept in a tent outside while I was in the camper. My brother brought his boat up and we towed the boys in a tube. We had a campfire, cooked hot dogs, and roasted marshmallows. It was one of DS's best birthdays. Another time my DD worked at a hotel with an indoor pool. I took 4 boys and DS swimming at the hotel, which was cool because it wasn't swimming weather yet.

You need to consider having your OWN friend/family party on a different day and make it ANOTHER special party for your DD.
