So I'm planning my sons birthday in June and i have my grandma(dads mom) helping me because she's very good at planning events. So of course its gonna be his first birthday and its supposed to be all about him right!? Well i overheard her telling a family member that the party is for my son and a "family reunion" !! How is that fair to my moms side of the family and my son!? Should I be upset or talk to her about it?? I need help 😣
@jazzminevaldez, then put your food down. Say they can do it the day after but the day is supposed to be about your baby
@soda2010 she wants to do it same day, same location!!
Same weekend or same day? Same day absolutely not that’s very upsetting. If it was maybe the same weekend like party Saturday and reunion Sunday ok that’s fine because then everyone only has to make one big trip! But I would talk to her about that definitely!
@momma_dee yeah I just don't know how to talk to her about it
@momma_dee it is upsetting because for my baby shower I was telling her we shouldnt do that because no one would come to shower my son, they would only come to for the reunion so we didnt do it . but it makes no sense that now my son is here and its his 1st birthday that she wants to do that now! Its frustrating because she always wants things done her way! Idk what to do!
Anytime! I would be upset too! But it’s better to confront it head on than to let it get out of hand
Well it’s your kid. So it’s your way or no way. And that’s how you need to face it lol
@sawyersmom its always been hard for me to talk to her about things because she's the type of person that its like "her way or no way".
Talk to her about it. Just lay your feelings on the line




I hope this helps and y'all moms with my account
Honest opinion am I overreacting....so my mother in law and sister in law didn't call my son on his birthday on Wednesday. Yet they knew it was his 2nd birthday. I was so upset and hurt because we've lived with them so I considered them like my actual family. My mom threw a surprise party for my son that night it was literally only my sister,brother,mom and aunt and one of my friends and of course us. Well my mom decided to go fb live with us singing happy birthday. My mother in law comments t...
I broke down at my moms house today ... because of the debt we owe and Passover is coming and it’s a very expensive holiday ... it was just way too much .... my mom i guess told my brother that I’m suffering and he called me over and asked me why i didn’t just ask for help, and offered to help when i need it . And gave me basically 4K to help for the month and if i need more to ask ... now one thing about me , is that i will suffer silently and won’t ask for help.... I’ve always been that way. ...

This is my son Walter. Today is his birthday. He would have been five. This picture was taken when he was 16 days old. He was my first child and my only son (I now have 3 girls). He passed away the next day after this picture from congenital heart failure. It was a miracle that he lived passed 12 weeks gestation because of how severe his heart defects were. I miss him so much, I can't believe it's been 5 years. It still hurts so bad. I don't talk about him a lot out loud because I end up bawling...
@soda2010 I am , im just trying to figure out how to word it 😔
