Though Pai's second birthday is a little while away, today we got into the discussion of what are plans are. This year we threw a party that only my family (parents, grandparents, and step-grandparents) and a few friends showed up to..NONE of my fiancee's family came. So I was thinking we should do a nice family dinner with cake and ice cream (including my parents and grandparents) and since my daughter now has some friends of her own, doing a little play date with her friends with some treats... Is that unreasonable ? I hate to not include his family but if they're not going to come anyway- why even throw some big party for no one to show ? *fiancee is open to things either way*
@firstbaby_girl, yessss! she's so rotten!
@firstbaby_girl, Lee and I are both thinking..honestly why not just spend that $ on baby girl rather than party crap.
@ryans_mommy14, ugh I feel your pain.. like Lee and I are together BUT his family creates this "divide" between the families because they feel my parents are rich snobs because they work hard and have nice things though my parents are FAR from snobs.
That sounds like a good idea. No sense in going crazy with a big party if you know those people aren't going to show up
Yeah none of my family I invited came to Ryan's 1st birthday party either. And This yr idk what to do for Ryan's 2nd birthday. And me and his dad aren't together so it's kinda tough.
@ryans_mommy14, ugh I'm just so sick of people not showing up to stuff that Honestly since were considering not even doing a party just dinner with cake... I was thinking if we get backlash about not inviting them I would respond with "Considering the lack of attendance at P's first birthday party, we decided to save money and not throw one this year and ibstead do something special with her. If you would like to celebrate with her you're welcome to come over and have cake and ice cream with us however we will not be doing some big fancy party."
Update ? I think my dog is dying
Update: We just buried her in my parents backyard in our family pet cemetery. We laid her to rest next to her best friend, Kane, whom we lost in 2010.
I planned a birthday party for June 2, for my daughter who will be 5. We handed out invitations to all her school friends (17 of them) last Friday and we have not gotten one response! This is my first time planning a party with friends and not just family, is this normal? I think I’m just a little nervous from all the stories about kids not showing up to other kids parties. I would be devastated and I know my little ladies heart would be shattered!

Baby girl decided it was her time before we could make our decision. Thanks for all your love and prayers. My little princess now became my little angel. 😭👶🙏👼
So I’m not a fan of my fiancé’s family. I want you all opinion on what you would do. His family wants to throw me a baby shower. Yet they haven’t invited any of my family and friends and none of my fiancé’s friends. My fiancé and his niece haven’t spoke since May since I got into an argument with her and supposedly this baby shower is her idea. Would you go to a baby shower that no one you know or friends and family won’t be apart of? Would you just not show up? My fiancé has already voiced his ...
Soo we decided that we are not sending my 4yr old daughter to school this yr and its crazy the RUDE comments we are recieving from family, friends, etc. understand this was OUR CHOICE for OUR FAMILY... blows my mind how some people think they can control your whole life!
Wow that's messed up!!!! @paisleysmama0216
