Today is my son's 4th birthday party. My dad is not coming because him and his new wife are too busy decorating for her daughter's graduation party, which is tomorrow night. At least that's their reason. She says their just too busy to make it to my son's party. HOnestly, I could care less if she comes, but I don't think there's any reason my dad couldn't make it. He's not the decorating type. To top it off, they called me yesterday pretty much demanding that I at least stop by my step-sisters party tomorrow night. What!? What would you do? Would this bother you?

I would go about doing for your family, with your son his friends and your friends or as I call them your "chosen family" I know it hurts that your dad is "too busy" to come, but you know what...that is really his problem...one day it will be a deamon in his closet that he will have to deal with. You on the other hand can let it upset you so badly that it impacts your view on the whole party (then it would be ruined for your son) OR you can say, what a jerk, I am going to go on with it and make it just as special as I can for him and enjoy every second for MY CHILD! I also would not go to the step-sister's party, that is not your responsibility, if he calls to "ream you out" for not showing up, I would simply say "well dad, you have your priorities, and I have mine." or "I am choosing to not make someone a priority when they are only making me and my family an option" The only one you owe anything to is your son, so give him what you can, and forget about what you can't give him!
