Tell me if you think this is childish............?
My father wont go to my daughter's 1st birthday party,because my mother will be there.He blames her for him not "being able to go" he said and I quote "You know how she is" my mother has treated
my father with respect since they divorced when I was 8 years old.
He says I don't want to have to put up with her,I said mom wont even talk,or look at you if I ask her not to.Then he responded with see how she is.
I told him I thought he was being stupid,if you want to come,you go despite the people you dont like being there.
TWO of my closest friends hate each other with a passion, they are going,and they know the other is going to be there.
Instead of going he wants me to throw her a separate party,at his house.I am suppose to pay for two party's now,why should
I have to pay for two.If he wants to have a party for her fine,but I shouldn't have to spend another 600.00 for another party.
Who do you think is in the wrong?

Your father is wrong. As a parent himself he should be less selfish. He is only thinking about himself and this is not all about him it is about your childs party. It is totally ridiculous to have to throw a seperate party because your father is acting like a child and can not suck it up and go to the party for a few hours. he is an adult and should be able to act civil with your mother if need be for the sake of your children. I would tell him that if he wants to act like a child not to come and he misses out and that you will not be throwing a seperate party just to please him.

I think your father is being childish! what I think you all should do is set up different times of the day that the grandparents should be there I am not sure if this is all day thing meaning ex:11-5pm or a a 4 hour party maybe grandma should come in the morning and grandpa in the afternoon,,, I hope this helps.

Your father is being very childish.He can surely put his feelings aside for a few hours.There'll be more "family" occasions he'll have to deal with along the way for years to come so he should start getting over this nonsense now.
I would not give into him now.If he misses your daughters b'day party,it's his loss and maybe he'll learn a good lesson.
You're right,he's wrong.It takes a much bigger person to put aside their feelings and attend the party for your daughters sake than to avoid going with sick excuses and look foolish to boot.

Have two smaller parties and pay $300 each! Good for your parents and the kids get twice the fun!

Sorry, but your dad is totally being a baby. He could swallow his distaste for your mother for the sake of your daughter. This is her 1st birthday, don't let him set such an awful precedent for her.

ok, no offense or anything, but your dad is being a babyish jerk. tell him to suck it up and get on with his life. seriously.
